Abstract:
In the development of quality biopharmaceutical drugs, it is the level of knowledge gained, not the volume of data, which provides the basis for science-based submissions and their regulatory evaluation [International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Q8 (R2)]. The identification of critical quality attributes (CQAs) is important as the initial step for quality by design (QbD) strategies. The impact of each potential critical attribute (pCQA) is assessed by using a systematic and scientific approach with respect to bioactivity, pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and safety of the biopharmaceutical drugs. The purpose of this section is to introduce a strategy for identifying CQA, and new analytical methods for CQA assessment.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
