Data Integrity Case Study: Laboratory Data
• Audit trail review showed results deleted routinely
• Audit trails showed tests being repeated without justification or investigation
• Lab instruments weren’t networked or otherwise backed-up
• Employees shared usernames and passwords
• [] stated that “when chromatograms don't look right, they are deleted” followed by “retesting.”

Question 1Failing results on an assay, now what?
a)Conduct an investigationb)Document the failurec) Just keep testing until something passesd)Delete any failing results
You should document the failure and conduct an Out-of-Specification investigation. The firm opted for c and d.

Question 2Reasons to delete CGMP data:
a) Your hard drive is fullb) You only need one passing resultc) They weren’t real results in the first placed) Oops, it was an accident
The firm claimed the deletions were just solvent injections to get a stable baseline or were to decrease the number of saved chromatograms on the computer.

Warning Letter“Failure to maintain complete data derived from all laboratory tests conducted to ensure compliance with established specifications and standards.
“Our investigators observed systemic data manipulation across your facility. They documented unexplained deletions of laboratory test results. They discovered that you repeated tests until you obtained acceptable results and that you failed to investigate out-of-specification or otherwise undesirable test results. Your firm relied on these falsified and manipulated test results to support batch release and stability data… ”

How to Remediateaka DI Remediation Three-Step
Recent FDA warning letters with data integrity citations ask firms to respond by taking these three steps:
• Comprehensive investigation
• Risk assessment
• Remediation and management strategy including corrective action plan

Contract Manufacturing Case Study:What You See is What You Get
• Products were not tested for microbial contamination or sterility.
• Firm “lost” qualification data.
• Firm routinely did not record (or measure?) weight of samples, test methods, calculations performed.

Question(s) 3-5
3) If you rely on certificates of analysis, what do you know?
4) If you do a paper audit, what do you know?
5) If you do a physical audit, what do you know?

Warning LetterYour firm failed to ensure that laboratory records included complete data derived from all tests necessary to assure compliance with established specifications and standards (21 CFR 211.194(a)).
• Your firm was unable to provide complete raw data related to the qualification of your [] water system. You lacked basic information (including missing sanitization data) to assess water system performance. According to your employee, half the data you generated over a year was lost.
