Impurities resulting from contact surfaces in the manufacturing process or in the final container closure system are referred to as leachables. These compounds can have a significant impact on the drug product’s safety and efficacy. Understanding the potential sources of these compounds and the analytical tools to detect them can be vital to a development program. Designing and implementing an extractables and leachables program can save significant time/cost in development and potentially avoid pitfalls, which may increase time to market.
