Conclusions
• Results generally comparable to ICP-MS • Bias from background levels in materials used to
make standards ▫ Apparent in Pb and V results ▫ Standard additions in calibration setup could
correct for this bias • When sample is not limited, XRF offers quick
and economical analysis ▫ Once calibration is established, only check
standards need to be analyzed

Project Objectives
• Address some of the key technical challenges faced by industry in preparation for compliance to ICH Q3D and USP /
• Provide a data-driven way to discuss technical aspects and expected variation of ICP-MS analysis of elemental impurities
• More specific objectives: ▫ Inter-laboratory data comparison for standardized samples ▫ Inter-laboratory evaluation of effectiveness of microwave digestion ▫ Comparison of acid leach/extraction techniques to total metal extraction ▫ Examination of the correlation (good or bad) between the analysis of
individual components (summation) vs. the formulated tablet analysis ▫ Comparison of ICP-MS and alternative techniques (ICP-OES and XRF)
• PQRI Sponsorship allows wider participation
• Study administrator—RTI International
-
Second Round Design Improvements & Best Practices
General • Consistency among alternative techniques and digestion methods to
ensure adequate data for comparison • ICP-OES (14) and XRF (6) analysis considered proactively • Raw materials distributed widely for summation approach comparison
Uniform Sample Preparation • Specify parameters such as sample size, sampling technique, acid
mixtures, and digestion temperature/pressure • Document type of digestion vessels and microwave model used
Uniform Analysis • Define procedures around LOQs, calibration, and data reporting • Document interference management (reaction/collision gases,
correction equations, etc.) and internal standards
-
Evaluation Samples & Analysis
Second Round Improvements—
Evaluation Samples
• Liquid sample to assess instrumental variation
• Evaluation samples with higher EI levels overall
• Multiple powdered or tableted evaluation samples targeting different levels
• EI source from pharma materials wherever possible
Powdered or tableted material at three concentrations and liquid sample are aliquoted and shipped to each participating laboratory.
Samples extracted in triplicate using the uniform method. Alternate extraction methods may be used if available in
addition to the uniform method.
Uniform method sample extracts/liquid
sample must be analyzed by ICP-MS.
Optional alternate method sample
extracts are analyzed by ICP-MS.
Replicate results and average/SD reported by extraction method and analysis method. Total samples for ICP-MS analysis are 12, alternative
digestion and analysis techniques will be in addition to basic results.Minimum samples: 12, maximum: 36.
Uniform method sample extracts, liquid may be analyzed by ICP-OES or other
instrument.
Samples extracted in triplicate using the uniform
acid leaching method.
Samples extracted by acid leaching method must be analyzed by
ICP-MS.
Results for replicates and average/SD are reported. Total samples for acid leach analysis
are 12.

Formulation Challenges
• Ideal solid formulation is tableted ▫ To preserve homogeneity
• Pharmaceutical materials that contain significant, known levels have been elusive ▫ Few materials contain significant As & Hg
• Combination of materials must have ▫ Favorable mixing & flow properties ▫ Compressibility
• Current path for solid formulations ▫ Tablets similar to the first round tablets ▫ Include small amounts of XRF standards ▫ Three levels of elemental impurities
-
Second Round Recruiting
• Distributed participant questionnaire for analytical laboratories in early August.
• Response as of 11/01/16: ▫ 28 laboratories submitted forms + 1 verbal commitment
Pharma manufacturers: 15 laboratories Contract/CRO: 9 laboratories Instrument manufacturers: 2 laboratories Government: 2 laboratories
1 lab
11 labs
17 labs

Next steps:
• Finalize formulations • Produce tablets and liquid sample
▫ Partnering with Liverpool John Moore’s University
• Uniform method and acid leach method development ▫ To be developed with finalized tablets prior to distribution
• Still seeking participant laboratories! ▫ Can accommodate up to 50 labs
