Full title: Risk Assessment of Extractables and Leachables in Different Phases of Development. As the knowledge on the manufacturing process evolves during the development of a drug product or medical device, it is advised to include learning cycles into the development program to avoid existence of critical E&Ls. These learning cycles offer the opportunity to increase the knowledge on E&L associated with the product over its development time. Initially, chemical information should be collected on the materials used. First extraction studies will guide concerns, followed by simulation studies which are designed to mimic reality. At the end, the leachable study has to meet regulatory requirements and must cover real use conditions until end of product shelf-life, and these leachables need to be covered by a thorough toxicological risk assessment.
