Dear Mr. Subramaniam:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected your drug manufacturing facility, Srikem Laboratories Pvt. Ltd., Plot No. 17/24, MIDC Taloja, Navi Mumbai, from December 14 to 18, 2015.
This warning letter summarizes significant deviations from current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) for active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).
FDA在2015年12月14-18日檢查了你們在孟買的生產場所。本警告信總結了你們原料藥生產CGMP嚴重違規情況。
Because your methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to CGMP, your API are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).
由於你們生產、加工、包裝和保存的方法、設施和控制不符合CGMP要求,你們的藥品根據FDCA的定義被認為是摻假藥品。
We reviewed your January 12, 2016, response in detail and acknowledge receipt of your subsequent correspondence.
我們詳細審核了你們於2016年1月12日及隨後發來的回覆。
During our inspection, our investigators observed specific deviations, including, but not limited to, the following.
在我們檢查期間,我們的調查人員發現的違規情況包括但不僅限於以下:
1.Failure to have laboratory control records that include complete data derived from all laboratory tests conducted to ensure compliance with established specifications and standards.
化驗室檢驗記錄沒有來自所有化驗室檢驗中產生的完整數據,這些檢測是為了確保藥品符合既定質量標準而實施的。
The audit trail for High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) instrument QCIEQPI40 showed multiple integrations conducted on the 18-month stability tests for unknown impurity content for (b)(4), USP lots (b)(4), without appropriate documentation, justification, and investigation.
HPLC儀器QCIEQP140儀器的審計追蹤顯示某USP批號某產品18個月穩定性檢測有未知雜質含量多個積分,但沒有適當的文件記錄、論證和調查。
Your quality assurance manager agreed that these integrations were inappropriate. When our investigator asked you to reprocess the chromatograms using appropriate integration parameters, the results were out-of-specification for unknown impurity content. Your quality unit must review all pertinent analytical data when making batch release decisions in order to determine batch quality.
你們質量保證部經理認可這些積分是不恰當的。當我們的調查人員要求你們使用適當的積分參數對這些色譜數據進行重新處理時,處理結果顯示未知雜質含量超標。你們的質量部門在做出批放行決策時必須審核所有相關的分析數據,以確定批產品質量。
In your response, you provided passing 24-month stability results for (b)(4) lots (b)(4), and committed to use the auto integration function. Your response is inadequate because it does not address the failing 18-month stability results for these lots and does not demonstrate how you will ensure that you retain complete and accurate records of all tests.
在你們的回覆中,你們提供了該批號24個月的穩定性結果,承諾要使用自動積分功能。你們的回覆是不充分的,因為回復並沒有對失敗的18個月穩定性結果進行說明,也沒有證明你們要如何確保你們能夠保存所有檢測的準確完整記錄。
2. Failure to follow and document laboratory controls at the time of performance.
未能在實施檢驗時遵守和記錄化驗室檢驗情況。
Our investigator observed inconsistently-dated laboratory records. For example, your executed protocol records show that a 24-month time-point stability testing sample of (b)(4), USP batch (b)(4), entered the laboratory on February 14, 2015. Our investigator requested the HPLC data. You provided our investigator HPLC chromatogram printouts showing that the sample was tested on February 12 and 13, 2015: one or two days before your protocol shows that the samples even entered the lab. You were unable to find any raw data corresponding to these tests. The use-log of the HPLC does not contain entries for these runs.
我們的調查人員發現化驗室記錄日期不一致的情況。例如,你們實施的方案記錄顯示24個月穩定性測試樣品是在2015年2月14日進入化驗室的。我們的調查人員要求查看HPLC數據。你們給我們調查人員提供的HPLC圖譜列印件顯示樣品是在2015年2月12日和13日檢測的,在你們的方案顯示樣品甚至還沒進到化驗室的1-2天之前。你們沒有發現對應這些測試的原始數據。HPLC的使用日誌也沒有這些樣品檢驗運行的記錄。
In another example, a printed chromatogram from related substance analysis performed by gas chromatography for (b)(4), batch (b)(4), was dated August 26, 2014. The data saved to your computer system from this analysis was dated December 28, 2013: nearly eight months before the date on the printed chromatogram.
在另一個例子中,GC對某批號所做的有關物質分析列印圖譜裡,日期是2014年8月26日。在你們的電腦系統中存貯的此分析的日期為2013年12月28日:比列印圖譜早了接近8個月。
In your response, you attributed data discrepancies to software malfunctions, power outages, and personnel shift changes. Your response is inadequate because you have not sufficiently explained how you are improving controls, notwithstanding these claimed sources of discrepancies, to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the data you rely on to evaluate the quality of your drugs.
在你們的回覆中,你們將數據不一致歸結於軟體故障,斷電和人員換班。你們的回覆是不充分的,因為你們沒有充分地解釋你們要如何改善你們的控制,不管這些所聲明的不一致的原因是什麼,都應確保你們賴以評估你們藥品質量的數據的準確性。
Data Integrity Remediation
數據完整性彌補措施
Your quality system does not adequately ensure the accuracy and integrity of data to support the safety, effectiveness, and quality of the drugs you manufacture. We acknowledge that you are using a consultant to audit your operation and assist in meeting FDA requirements. In response to this letter, provide the following.
