The host-parasite paradigm predicts that the evaluation of human attractiveness should be connected with assessments of parasite resistance and developmental stability. Two possi-... 

Primary and developmental stability studies help development scientists understand the degradation pathways. These studies are developed to get information on the stability of the drug product, expected expiry date, and recommended storage conditions. All specified degradation products, unspecified degradation products, and total degradation products are monitored in these studies.

Depending on stability knowledge of the product, this condition may not be actively tested if the product was found to be stable at 30°C/75%RH during developmental stability studies. 

Hatness (which may affect the ability to apply the patch) may be measured during developmental stability studies [59], Exposure to high or low humidity may affect moisture content and can cause either increased formulation bulkiness or brittleness, respectively [60], These studies inform packaging decisions prior to commercialization.

Developmental stability Stability studies conducted in the early stages of product development where an assessment of various formulations is being made with the intent of selecting the formulation that will have the longest shelf life. Other factors, such as tablet compressibility, and target product profile, may influence these studies. These studies may or may not be protocol driven, depending upon the stage of development.
