2. Annual product review is an evaluation conducted annually to assess the quality
standard of each drug product with the view to verify the consistency of existing
process and to check the appropriateness of current specifications and to highlight
any tends in order to determine the need to change any drug product specifications or
the manufacturing processes or control procedures. Annual product review is done for
the products which are manufactured in U. S. market.

What is APR ?
3. Objectives:
To assess drug product performance annually and to determine need for any
change in drug product specification and or manufacturing process and control
procedures.
3
4. Importance of APR:
■ It verifies the consistency of the existing manufacturing processes.
■ It determines the quality and process defects of the products
■ It determines the defects and possible improvements of the methods and process.
■ It reviews the quality of the raw material and packaging material which is used for the
product
■ Mainly it indicates the quality of material.
■ To determine the consistency of the quality of the product the in-process parameters
and the finished product results are reviewed.
■ Quantity of the final product is reviewed by trending the yield of every batch
■ The determination of the Corrective and preventive actions and their impact on product
quality are also reviewed.

5. Basic Contents of Annual Product Quality Review:
A review of starting materials including packaging materials used in the product,
especially those from new sources.
A review of critical in-process controls and finished product results.
A review of all batches that failed to meet established specification(s) and their
investigation.
A review of all significant deviations or nonconformances, their related investigations,
and the effectiveness of resultant corrective and preventative actions taken.
A review of all changes carried out to the processes or analytical methods.
A review of Marketing Authorisation variations submitted/granted/ refused, including
those for third country (export only) dossiers.

6. A review of the results of the stability monitoring programme and any adverse
trends.
A review of all quality-related returns, complaints and recalls and the
investigations performed at the time.
A review of adequacy of any other previous product process or equipment
corrective actions.
For new marketing authorisations and variations to marketing authorisations, a
review of postmarketing commitments.
The qualification status of relevant equipment and utilities, e.g. HVAC, water,
compressed gases, etc.

7. Control sample review of the product.
Batches taken for reprocessing/reworking, if any.
Different pack size of the product offered in the market.
If any experiment is conducted to improve yield or quality of product in
consultation with R&D

8. Why are APR’s required?
GMP Requirements for APRs are found in in 21 CFR 211.180(e) and includes:
■ Written procedure
■ Review of every batch (or representative) to determine the need for
■ changes in specifications or manufacturing or control procedures
■ Review of complaints
■ Review of recalls
■ Review of returned or salvaged products
■ Review of investigations
8
9. Benefits:
■ Assess needed changes in product specifications.
■ Assess needed changes in manufacturing or control procedures.
■ Determine if validation or revalidation is needed.
■ Identify product improvement or cost reduction opportunities.
■ Confirm change control systems.
■ Provide a preparation tool for FDA inspections.
■ Communicate product and process status to management

21. FDA Inspections: Expectations for Annual Product
Reviews
■ Develop a comprehensive SOP – the SOP should be comprehensive and specific.
■ Follow the SOP – failure to follow the SOP will almost always result in
■ concerns from investigators.
■ Include all required and “expected” elements in the APR.
■ Identify and implement corrective or improvement actions – the routine
assignment of corrective or improvement actions signals that you take the process
seriously, and as originally intended by the authors of the GMP regulations.
21
22. ■ Follow-up on actions – a system to assure that actions occurred and were effective
is essential.
■ Assure that the quality unit reviews and approves the APR – most firms require QA
approval on APRs.
■ Involve management in the process – the higher the level of involvement and
interest in the process, the more APRs can be used as a tool for process control
and product improvement.
