Collazo-Custodio, Ph.D., Microbiologist, Primary Reviewer,Division of Vaccines and Related Product Applications, CBER, US FDA2:15 CASE STUDY/UNPUBLISHED DATA Analytical CharacterizationStrategies and Challenges of Protein Vaccine ProductsAn enhanced approach to product development requires building productunderstanding throughout the development lifecycle. The focus of thispresentation is on analytical characterization strategies and challengesduring protein vaccine development. Case studies are provided to elucidatethe value of characterization studies and orthogonal tools for virus-likeparticle and protein nanoparticle vaccines.Ziping Wei, Ph.D., Executive Director, Novavax, Inc.2:45 Validation of a Multiplexed Serological Method for thePotency Testing of Multicomponent VaccinesA serological potency assay on Guinea pigs is now referenced in the EuropeanPharmacopoeia for DTacP vaccine. This alternative assay will reduce thenumber of animals due to the ability to use the same animals for multipleantigens. We developed a common immunogenicity assay on guinea pigswith a multiplex antibody detection method. The current potency assay wascompared to the new potency assay. Data supporting the replacement of thecurrent potency by the new alternative assay is presented.Martine Chabaud-Riou, Scientist, Analytical R&D, Sanofi Pasteur, France3:15 Networking Refreshment Break and Exhibit/Poster ViewingWhy Do Attendees Return toWell Characterized BiologicalsYear after Year?Don’t Take Our Word for It – Read TheseRave Reviews from the 2012 Event“Well organized and balanced conference”– Parag Goyal, Principal Scientist, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories“It’s a great conference in the biologics arena”– Shenjiang Yu, Associate Director, Merck & Co.“Even with obstacles from Mother Nature (namelyHurricane Sandy), the conference went on and I had awonderful experience attending”– Wing-Yee Fu, Associate Scientist, Momenta Pharmaceuticals“…Very relevant with current events and trends.

Virus-retentive filters are vulnerable to prematurefouling by impurities, such as subvisible particle (SVP) species, present insome feed streams. This study aims to characterize the direct impact SVPshave on the virus-retentive filter performance and explore methodologies todevelop robust processes for commercial scale production.Christopher Cowan, Ph.D., Staff Engineer, Preclinical ManufacturingProcess Development, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals11:45 Presentation Sponsorship OpportunityFor more information on sponsored opportunities to present an excitingtechnology or application in this conference session, please contact JenniferThebodo at jthebodo@ibcusa.com12:15 Networking Luncheon and Exhibit/Poster Viewing1:30 Chairman’s Opening RemarksWayland Rushing, Ph.D., Senior Scientific Advisor, ABC Laboratories1:45 UNPUBLISHED DATA Understanding the Response of ParticleDetection Instruments to Non-Spherical ParticlesWhile most particle imaging/analysis instruments work well with sphericalparticles (e.g., polystyrene beads), actual particles (such as aggregated protein)are often irregular and elongated. We have fabricated monodisperse polymerparticles of various shapes to understand the response of particle counters tonon-spherical particles. Detection technology considered includes: the human eye,electrical sensing zone (Coulter counter), light obscuration, and flow imaging.Michael Carrier, Bioprocess Measurements Group, National Institute ofStandards and Technology2:15 CASE STUDY Understanding and Implementing EffectiveExtractable and Leachable ProgramsImpurities resulting from contact surfaces in the manufacturing process or in thefinal container closure system are referred to as leachables. These compounds canhave a significant impact on the drug product’s safety and efficacy. Understandingthe potential sources of these compounds and the analytical tools to detectthem can be vital to a development program. Designing and implementing anextractables and leachables program can save significant time/cost in developmentand potentially avoid pitfalls, which may increase time to market.Wayland Rushing, Ph.D., Senior Scientific Advisor, ABC Laboratories2:45 Analysis of Host-Cell Proteins in Biotherapeutic Proteinsby Comprehensive Online Two-Dimensional LiquidChromatography/Mass SpectrometryResidual host cell proteins (HCPs) are ppm-level contaminants inbiotherapeutics that may elicit an unpredictable immune response and needto be monitored. The identification and quantitation of low-level HCPs inbiopharmaceuticals using two-dimensional chromatography and dataindependentmass spectrometry will be discussed. The incorporation of ionmobility to resolve peptides in multiple dimensions is demonstrated.Weibin Chen, Ph.D., Senior Manager, Scientific Operations, Late StageDevelopment, PLS Business Operations, Waters Corp.3:15 Networking Refreshment Break and Exhibit/Poster Viewing8 www.IBCLifeSciences.com/WCB Variant and www.IBCLifeSciences.com/VariantsImpurity Challenges in Vaccine
Tuesday, October 22, 2013 (continued)Well Characterized BiologicalsComparability Strategies for Biotechnology Products3:45 Similarity and Comparability: What’s in and What’s out?Biosimilar and novel protein products have overlapping but distinct criteriafor successful development, licensure, and post-approval changes. This talkwill describe the interactions between the different pathways for developingand licensing a quality protein product, examining high level issues as well asthe details that form the core of regulatory decision-making.Emily Shacter, Ph.D. Consultant, ThinkFDA, LLC;Former Chief, Laboratory of Biochemistry, CDER, US FDA4:15 Health Canada Perspective CASE STUDY High Resolution NMRFingerprinting the Higher Order Structure of Biosimilars:A Comparability ToolIn this paper, we show through a case study that a simple NMR methodcan provide detailed information on the higher order structure of proteintherapeutics.

Themolecule was shown to be prone to rapid multimerization and N-terminaldegradation during recovery and purification. Careful attention to theexpression parameters and recovery of the vaccine protein from thebiomass were an essential components of the manufacturing process. Thedevelopment of a robust, orthogonal purification process resulted in a highyield,GMP-compliant process that generated high-quality protein that wasshown to be potent in animal models.Steven L.
