Biological Assays for Characterization of Raw Materials Used in Mammalian Cell Culture Media Formulations<br />
SAFC Biosciences raw materials characterization initiative was established <strong>to</strong> evaluate variability in raw materials used <strong>to</strong> formulate cell culture media <strong>and</strong> thereby improve media consistency <strong>and</strong><br />
performance in cell culture manufacturing processes. Cell-based biological assays were developed <strong>to</strong> investigate the effects of raw materials on cell growth, production <strong>and</strong> product quality. Biological assays were designed <strong>to</strong> include<br />
appropriate indica<strong>to</strong>r cell lines, assay media <strong>and</strong> conditions <strong>to</strong> detect lot-<strong>to</strong>-lot variability among raw material s<strong>up</strong>pliers<br />

8:15 CMC-Related Regula<strong>to</strong>ry Considerations for Development<br />
of Antibody-Drug Conjugates: An FDA Perspective<br />
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are designed <strong>to</strong> deliver a cy<strong>to</strong><strong>to</strong>xic<br />
drug through a targeting moieties (e.g., tumor cells) utilizing the<br />
specificity of a monoclonal antibody. Although such ADCs are simple in<br />
principle, significant chemistry, manufacturing, <strong>and</strong> control (CMC)-<br />
related challenges arise during development <strong>and</strong> regula<strong>to</strong>ry review.<br />
CMC-related issues unique <strong>to</strong> this class of molecules will be discussed.<br />

CASE STUDY Development <strong>and</strong> Implementation of<br />
a Next-Generation Manufacturing Process for a New<br />
rFVIII Product<br />
Building on the experience with Bayer’s recombinant Kogenate®<br />
product line, the strategy of the BAY 81-8973 CMC development team<br />
was <strong>to</strong> utilize targeted innovation <strong>to</strong> develop, scale-<strong>up</strong> <strong>and</strong> implement<br />
a new, simplified <strong>and</strong> more efficient <strong>up</strong>stream <strong>and</strong> downstream<br />
manufacturing process. The resulting new technologies now also form<br />

10:30 Subcutaneous Protein Delivery: Challenges,<br />
Opportunities, <strong>and</strong> Key Lessons from a Drug<br />
Delivery Platform<br />
Biotech companies are often spending much effort concentrating<br />
mAbs <strong>to</strong> ≥ 100 mg/mL <strong>to</strong> accommodate subcutaneous dosing at<br />
high doses. Halozyme’s Enhanze Technology permits SC dosing<br />
of much greater than 1 mL/injection, which enables bypassing high<br />
concentration formulation challenges with the potential <strong>to</strong> allow rapid<br />
conversion of intravenous drugs <strong>to</strong> subcutaneous administration,<br />
which may benefit patients’ convenience <strong>and</strong> compliance.<br />

CASE STUDY Advanced Process Control <strong>and</strong> Real-<br />
Time Chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy Moni<strong>to</strong>ring<br />
Liquid chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy plays an important role in the purification<br />
of pharmaceutical products derived from biotechnology processes.<br />
Process-scale separations often involve multiple column operations,<br />
each consisting of multiple phases so column packing, qualification <strong>and</strong><br />
process moni<strong>to</strong>ring are important areas of concern. This presentation<br />
discusses Biogen Idec’s strategy for chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy analysis <strong>and</strong><br />
moni<strong>to</strong>ring. This approach leverages the power of multivariate analysis,<br />
advanced analytical algorithms, <strong>and</strong> process knowledge <strong>to</strong> achieve the<br />
enhance process underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> improved process performance.<br />

Design of a Contamination Barrier for Serum-<br />
Containing Cell Culture Media of a Licensed Product<br />
Despite their infrequency, microbial, viral <strong>and</strong> mycoplasma<br />
contaminations of biomanufacturing facilities have had significant<br />
financial, production <strong>and</strong> regula<strong>to</strong>ry impacts <strong>to</strong> companies.<br />
Robustness of the contamination barrier depends on the degree<br />
of inactivation/clearance conferred by treatment technologies <strong>and</strong><br />
the risk of raw materials. HTST, UVC, viral filtration <strong>and</strong> gamma<br />
irradiation, as well as raw material decomposition strategies, were<br />
evaluated <strong>to</strong> overcome impact <strong>to</strong> process/product.<br />

8:05 Risk Assessment <strong>and</strong> Management for Raw Materials<br />
A holistic risk assessment approach is described, including<br />
s<strong>up</strong>plier capabilities, quality systems, <strong>and</strong> material safety data.<br />
In addition, an assessment of material properties on the process,<br />
which links parameters <strong>to</strong> critical quality attributes, is required. The<br />
information required is significant but the outputs can result in a<br />
clearer prioritization of the data required, more rational setting of<br />
specifications, avoidance of redundant testing <strong>and</strong> a better foundation<br />
for continuous improvement.<br />
