Conditions Of Permitted daily exposure

The term “permitted daily exposure” (PDE) was first defined in the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Guideline on setting health-based exposure levels for use in risk identification in the manufacturing of different medicinal products in shared facilities (hereafter referred to as the “Health Based Exposure Limits (HBEL) guideline”) in December 2012, in the context of setting health-based exposure limits for the prevention of cross-contamination of different medicinal products. The term “permitted daily exposure” was defined as follows in the EMA’s Health Based Exposure Limits (HBEL) guideline:

“The PDE reflects a chemical dose that, at levels below this dose, is unlikely to cause harm if a person is exposed to it every day for the rest of their lives.”

The HBEL guideline then gave the formula to calculate the PDE: (NOAEL x Weight Adjustment) / (F1 x F2 x F3 x F4 x F5):

While it may be tempting to believe that this is a new method, this equation has been around for a long time. Impurities: Guideline for Residual Solvents, often known as ICH Q3C, is a document published by the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). A similar method was also described in the methods for setting exposure limits in pharmaceuticals prior to ICH Q3C. (Pharmacopeial Forum, Nov-Dec 1989).

Reviewing the Permitted Daily Exposure definition

It’s important to use critical thinking skills when reading the definition of a PDE and carefully analyze what each word or phrase in the definition means. As an example, consider the following:

-”Substance-specific dose” denotes a calculation based on a single chemical; as a result, you’ll require scientific data on that particle.

-”Unlikely to cause an adverse effect” refers to any unintended result, however the word “unlikely” does not rule out the possibility of a result.

-Any individual, including newborns, babies, children, adults, or the elderly, is considered “if an individual is exposed.” And “exposed” refers to any type of exposure, such as oral, inhalation, dermal, injection, or intravenous.

-”Every day for a lifetime” refers to every day of one’s life, from conception to death.

Our toxicologists and GMP experts work closely together.

- To determine the (PDE) for your APIs or critical excipients based on a pharmacological and toxicological evaluation, follow the revised GMP guideline and the EMA’s “Guideline on setting health-based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities.”

-As well as to provide suitable yet solutions for your GMP surroundings that represent what is truly necessary from a toxicological and pharmacological point.

We can help you decide whether your current cleaning techniques are still suitable in view of the determined

(PDE) values, or whether you need to take further steps.

Our GMP professionals have a lot of expertise creating and executing GMPs.

-For highly potent APIs, containment and cleaning concepts are essential.

-Classic concepts for APIs with moderate risk levels, and, of course, traditional concepts for APIs with high risk levels.

Our Experience

FTI Incorporation have created and delivered over 1500 high-quality PDE/ADE reports/monographs in compliance with EMA, ISPE, ASTM, and other country-specific guidelines over the years. PDE/ADE reports for oral, parenteral, inhalation, topical, and some of the more uncommon routes, such as ophthalmic and otic, have been created by FTI Incorporation and have been subjected to rigorous scrutiny during GMP inspections and critical evaluations by our clients’ in-house toxicologists.

Conclusion

Finally, it’s important to understand the basic definition of a PDE so that you know what you’re trying to protect and where you’re trying to protect when you’re performing the calculations.
