Detailed programme

Neues e-Learning - Dreh am 08.01.2026

Module 1: Basics and regulatory requirements
  • Product stability basics
  • Purpose of stability testing
  • Needs and aims of stability testing
  • New Chemical Entities (NCEs) vs. New Biological Entities (NBEs)
  • Regulatory requirements
  • ICH guidelines
  • Revision ICH Q1 "Stability Guideline"
  • Additional guidelines
After having passed this module, you explored the fundamentals of product stability, the differences between NCEs and NBEs, and the key ICH guidelines alongside the upcoming changes introduced by the Draft ICH Q1 Guideline.

Module 2: Factors influencing stability
  • Factors influencing stability
  • Formulation development and stability
  • Container-closure and finished product stability
  • Transportation
  • Human factor - influence on stability
  • Adverse effects of stability
After having passed this module, you explored how drug substance properties, formulation, excipients, manufacturing processes, and container-closure systems influence product stability, and how environmental factors and human handling contribute to degradation.

Module 3: Stability testing requirements
  • Stability studies
  • Long-term and accelerated studies
  • Intermediate studies
  • Stability studies during development and life cycle
  • Forced degradation studies (stress testing)
  • Forced degradation studies during development and life cycle
  • Photostability studies (ICH Q1B)
  • Transportation studies
  • In-use stability studies
  • Stability budget
After having passed this module, you explored the purpose and scope of various stability study types - from long-term and accelerated to photostability and in-use studies - and how they support product development, lifecycle management, and the definition of shelf life, storage conditions, and handling guidelines.

Module 4: Bracketing and matrixing
  • Bracketing and matrixing designs (ICH Q1D)
  • Bracketing
  • Matrixing Bracketing and matrixing designs - CAVE
After having passed this module, you learned the principles of bracketing and matrixing per ICH Q1D, including when reduced stability designs are appropriate, and how to evaluate their advantages, limitations, and regulatory considerations.

Module 5: Storage conditions
  • Declaration of storage conditions
  • Required stability data for marketing authorisation
  • Storage conditions (ICH Q1A)
  • Label statements
  • Other specific storage statements
After having passed this module, you learned how storage conditions are defined and justified based on stability data, what regulatory requirements apply for marketing authorisation, and how storage statements, in-use conditions, and expiration dates are derived and reflected on product labelling.

Module 6: Shelf life/re-test and extrapolation
  • Definition - shelf life
  • Shelf life extension during clinical trial
  • Start of the shelf life of the drug product
  • Definition re-test
After having passed this module, you learned how re-test periods and shelf life are defined and justified based on long-term stability data, and when extrapolation of stability data is scientifically acceptable according to ICH Q1E using statistical and non-statistical approaches.

Module 7: Dossier structure
  • Common Technical Document (CTD) Module 3 "Quality"
  • Stability documentation in CTD Module 3
  • Further drug substance and drug product CTD sections affected
  • Post-approval stability requirements
After having passed this module, you learned how stability information is structured within the Common Technical Document (CTD), particularly in sections 3.2.S.7 and 3.2.P.8, and how stability data supports regulatory filings from clinical submissions through to post-approval commitments and renewals.

Module 8: Impact of changes on stability
  • How changes affect global stability requirements
  • Stability-relevant guidelines
  • EU Variation Guideline
  • Points to consider
After having passed this module, you learned which changes can impact a product's stability profile, what constitutes a "significant change" in regulatory terms, and which post-approval variations typically trigger the need for additional stability studies.

Module 9: Global stability programmes
  • Climatic zones
  • WHO stability requirements
  • Additional challenges
After having passed this module, you learned how global climatic zones influence stability study design, what WHO requirements apply to APIs and finished products, and which key challenges arise in global stability programmes, such as country-specific requirements and limitations of reduced study designs.

Module 10: Challenges for biological products
  • Stability testing of biological products
  • Challenges for stability of biologics
  • Causes and prevention of instability
  • Additional challenges
  • Summary of stability studies (biologicals - example)
After having passed this module, you learned about the unique stability challenges of biological and biotechnological products, the principles of stability testing according to ICH Q5C, and how intrinsic, extrinsic, and process-related factors influence the stability, safety, and quality of biologics.

e-Learning: Global Stability

Here you can get a brief insight into the e-Learning: Global Stability.

Principles

Principles of the e-Learning

The e-learning program 'Global Stability' comprises ten didactic modules that include videos in which the expert Dr Christina Juli shares her expertise with you. You can also download and print the corresponding presentation documents.

Each module comprises additional documents (links, guideline texts, etc.) as well as interactive exercises and questions, which help you practice and apply your newly gained knowledge. Each module ends with an online-test/quiz.

It is estimated that completing the e-learning course will take approximately 5 hours. The e-learning program should be completed within three months.
Once you have completed all modules and successfully passed the assessments, you will receive a certificate of completion, which serves as proof of training, e.g., for audits or inspections. The certificate and learning assessments are generated based on an automated, non-individualized multiple-choice test.


The e-learning course can be booked either as a standalone program or as preparation for another advanced training course that delves deeper into a specific topic. If you book as part of a training bundle, you’ll benefit from an attractive discount.
