This collaborative case study explores model-based design space development across scales with stability considerations. It defines the target product profile to derive quality attributes, proposes risk analysis, and risk evaluation methods. Parameters for investigation are suggested, and functional relationships of critical process parameters (CPPs) with critical quality attributes (CQAs) are established to define the design space for each unit operation. The process design space results in basic processing sequences and critical process parameters’ design space definition. Tablet hardness, blending, drying, and granulation design spaces are explored with interactions between unit operations considered.

Design Space Definition • For each unit op establish functional relationships of CPP and CQA of input materials with CQA of output materials • e.g. disintegration time ~ compression force and hydrophobicity • Establish interactions between unit ops • e.g. hardness ~ PSD and compression force • Establish design space boundaries by propagating backwards limits imposed on final product CQAs
