The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries are subject to stringent regulatory requirements to help ensure quality, safety, and efficacy of the drug products. The introduction of the science and risk-based approach, Quality-by-Design (QbD), has significantly contributed to the adoption of more effective quality systems. However, QbD still requires extensive experimental efforts and most importantly, it misses the opportunity to leverage effective model-based and digital technologies. This talk will highlight the key challenges and limitations inherent to the current QbD and future opportunities to develop a digital quality ecosystem in pharma and related industries, by adopting new Quality-by-Digital Design (QbDD) paradigms. It will also highlight the interplay between data, digital twins, artificial intelligence, and self-tuned advanced control strategies in Pharma 4. The new QbDD will dramatically reduce reliance on quality-by-testing and help achieve the intended digital quality control and flawless real-time release testing.
