Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine quality control specifications needed for a dossier and an investigator's brochure of A. afra capsules, which can be used to motivate the registration and clinical testing of A. afra capsules in chronic asthma. The specific objectives were: (1) to establish the minimum product quality requirements for registration of A. afra capsules, (2) to prepare and pharmaceutically characterize a capsule product of A. afra freeze dried aqueous extract (FDAE) suitable for registration, and (3) to identify pharmaceutical product quality aspects of an investigator's brochure (IB) that would be appropriate for use in motivating a clinical trial of A. afra capsules in chronic asthma.
