(バイオ医薬品におけるパラダイムの展開:新製品と伝統的製品)

8:45
Common Mistakes Seen in Phase 1/2 CMC Studies
Typically, the primary CMC focus for IND-enabling studies is to minimize product safety risks during first-in-human trials. But in order to best position the CMC package for the end of Phase 2, there are several additional elements that should be considered. Numerous CMC activities performed during Phase 1 and 2 can be strategically designed to efficiently support late phase studies. And, if performed in alignment with ICHQ10 'knowledge management' principles, they add considerable value to late-phase partnering or licensing/acquisitions. This presentation will highlight several common CMC mistakes made during early development, as observed from over two decades of experience with both small and large biotech organizations, and a wide variety of biopharm products.

Characterization Strategies for Antibody-Maytansinoid Conjugates
Antibody-Maytansinoid Conjugates (AMCs) are immunoconjugates that consist of antibodies with multiple molecules of a maytansinoid cytotoxic agent attached. By using well-designed processes, AMCs can be manufactured very consistently. However, these manufacturing processes inherently introduce additional heterogeneity into the immunoconjugate, beyond that already present in the antibody. Process, analytical and regulatory strategies for addressing this heterogeneity will be discussed.

Comparability Assessment of a MAb after Clone and Process Changes
To improve cell culture consistency and cell productivity, the clone and cell culture processes of a recombinant MAb product were changed between Phase I/II and Phase III manufacturing. These changes introduced marked differences in product size and charge variant distribution. A new size variant was observed in both SEC and non-reduced CE-SDS methods. The characterization results suggested that the new size variant was an antibody fragment. This talk will present the characterization of the differences between products produced from different processes and the assessment of product comparability.

Technology Workshop

9:15
New Proteins, New Problems: Analytical Clues to the Stability of Proteins during Manufacture and Storage
Early prediction of how a candidate therapeutic protein will behave during manufacture and storage over extended periods has always been highly desirable to help identify optimum candidates and reduce development risks. As the biopharmaceutical industry begins to move beyond relatively well understood protein formats like mAbs this is becoming increasingly critical as many of the exciting new formats are proving 'troublesome' or at the very least less predictable. This presentation will review some of the analytical 'clues' to a protein's suitability for subsequent manufacture and long term storage. This will include some commonly used stability indicators and some more speculative ideas with a particular focus on measurements which can be made rapidly and early in development.
