  • 1 Number of validation batches is determined such that at least 9 out of 10 future batches produced after a successful Stage 2 PPQ have over 95% probability to pass potency specification.

  • 2 Number of validation batches is determined such that with 95% confidence that out of 10 future batches manufactured after a successful Stage 2 PPQ, the number of batches that pass specification is greater than or equal to 9.
