Accuracy in Accelerated Aging
• Statistics must be based on accurate models
• Most shelf-life today determined by degradant
growth not potency loss
• >50% Drug products show complex kinetics: do
not show linear behavior
• Heterogeneous systems
• Secondary degradation
• Autocatalysis
• Inhibitors
• Diffusion controlled

Accuracy
• Both isoconversion and rate constant
methods accurate when behavior is simple
• Only isoconversion is accurate when
degradant formation is complex
• Carrying out degradation to bracket
specification limit at each condition will
increase reliability of modeling

15
Estimating Uncertainty
• Need to use isoconversion for accuracy: defines a 2step process
• Estimating uncertainty in isoconversion from
degradant vs. time data
• Propagating to ambient using Arrhenius equation
• Error bars for degradant formation are not uniform
• Constant relative standard deviation (RSD)
• Minimum error of limit of detection (LOD)

• Stochastic: Monte-Carlo distribution
• Non-stochastic: 2n permutations of ±1σ
• Extrema: 2n permutations of ±1σ; normalize using zeroerror isoconversion - minimum time (maximum
degradant) of distribution

Isoconversion Uncertainty
• CI too narrow in interpolation regions (<
experimental σ); also does not take into
account error of fit
• RI better represents error for predictions
• RI and CI converge with extrapolation
• Extrema mimics RI in interpolation; more
conservative in extrapolation
• Note: scientifically less confident in
isoconversion extrapolations (model fit)

zero-error intercept with specification limit)

Arrhenius Fitting Uncertainty
• Distribution of ambient rates from Monte-Carlo
or extrema calculations very similar
• In both cases, rate is not normally distributed
• Probabilities need to use a cumulative
distribution function

Arrhenius Fitting Uncertainty
𝑘𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑇1 = 𝐴𝑒 −𝐸𝑎
𝑅 1 𝑇2
• Can be solved in logarithmic (linear) or exponential (non-linear)
form
• With perfect data, point estimates of rate (shelf-life) will be
identical
• A distribution at each point will generate imperfect fits
• Least squares will minimize difference between actual and
calculated points
• Non-linear will weight high T more heavily
• Constant RSD means that higher rates will have greater
errors

26
Arrhenius Fitting Uncertainty
• Non-linear least squares fitting gives larger, less
normal distributions of ambient rates
• Non-linear fitting’s greater weighting of higher
temperatures makes non-Arrhenius behavior
more likely to cause inaccuracies
• Since linear is also less computationally
challenging, recommend use of linear fitting

27
Low Degradant vs. Standard Deviation
• For low degradation rate (with respect to the SD),
isoconversion less symmetric
• Becomes discontinuous @Δdeg = 0 (isoconversion = ∞)
for any sampled point
• Can resolve by clipping points with MC
• Distribution meaning when most points removed?
• Can use extrema
• Define behavior with no regression line isoconversion
• Can define mean from first extrema intercept (2 X value)
• No perfect answers—modeling better when data show
change

Notes
• ICH guidelines allow ±2C and ±5%RH—
average drug product shows a factor of
2.7 shelf-life difference within this range
• ASAP modeling uses both T and RH, both
potentially changing with time—errors
will change accordingly
• Assume mathematics the same, but
need to focus on instantaneous rates

Conclusions
• Modeling drug product shelf-life from accelerated
data more accurate using isoconversion
• Isoconversion more accurate using points bracketing
specification limit than using all points
• With isoconversion, regression interval (not
confidence interval) includes error of fit, but difficult
to calculate with varying SD
• Extrema method reasonably approximates RI for
interpolation; more conservative for extrapolation
• Linear fitting of Arrhenius equation preferred

Notes on King, Kung, Fung “Statistical prediction of drug
stability based on non-linear parameter estimation” J.
Pharm. Sci. 1984;73:657-662
• Used rates based on each time point independently
• Changing rate constants not projected accurately for shelf-life
• Gives greater precision by treating each point as equivalent, even when
far from isoconversion (32 points at 4 T’s gives better error bars than
just 4 isoconversion values: more precise, but more likely to be wrong)
• Non-linear fitting to Arrhenius
• Weights higher T more heavily (and where they had most degradation)
• Made more sense with constant errors used for loss of potency
• Non-linear fitting in general bigger, less symmetric error bars, more
likely to be in error if mechanism shift with T
• Used mean and SD for linear fitting, even when not normally distributed
(i.e., not statistically valid method)
• Do not recommend general use of KKF method (fine for ideal behavior,
loss of potency)
