Successfully Navigating Opportunities With On-Body Delivery Systems – Common Questions And Answers

Container Closure Integrity (CCI) is essential to ensure sterile drug products remain safe, effective, and contamination-free throughout their shelf life. USP <1207> recommends evaluating package integrity from development through commercialization by defining the Maximum Allowable Leakage Limit (MALL) and selecting validated, application-specific test methods. The guidance favors quantitative deterministic methods over probabilistic approaches and emphasizes integrating CCI testing, seal quality assessment, stability studies, and lifecycle management to maintain product quality.
