8:15 Chairperson乫s Welcome and Opening Comments

8:30 Regulatory and Compliance Issues: Being Prepared for FDA Inspections
Robert Darius, Director, Global Quality Assurance, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (North America)
  • Understand the general injectable product requirements applicable in the US
  • Demonstrate that your product meets the applicable standards
  • Prepare for an FDA inspection: When is FDA most likely to inspect? What does the FDA consider to be red flags? How should you communicate with the FDA before, during and after an inspection?
  • Discuss issues raised in FDA complete response letters and 483 inspection observations: Learn how to channel this information in order to improve your processes and increase the speed of regulatory approvals
9:15 Specifying a Production Lyophilizer: What do I need?
Maury J. Mossman, Senior Engineer, Process Development Engineering, Genentech, Inc.
Selection and specifying a production scale lyophilizer can be a difficult process. Many questions regarding chamber/condenser design, loading, CIP/SIP, refrigeration, space availability, automation, and documentation must be answered to meet GMP requirements and satisfy your manufacturing culture. This presentation will aid you in identifying key topics for discussion within your company, engaging potential vendors, interpreting proposals, and organizing your specifications into a robust solicitation package.
  • Learn how to progress from high level specifications to detailed specifications organized by subsystem
  • Understand the options available for vessel designs, CIP/SIP, refrigeration, automation platforms, and more
  • Identify materials, fabrication methods, and engineering details that affect manufacturing and maintenance culture
  • Learn how to handle quotes, bid packages, submittals, and compare like-to like during vendor selection
9:45 Case Study: Tech Transfer of a Lyo Product
Clea Talley, Senior Engineer, DPDD Drug Product Team Leader, Amgen

10:15 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall

11:15 PAT Applications of Manometric Temperature Measurement for Freeze-Drying Cycle Development, Optimization and In-Process Monitoring / Control
Charlie Tang, Ph.D., Sr. Research Scientist, Formulation Development, Centocor, Inc. (J&J)
Manometric Temperature Measurement (MTM)yields data of product temperature and dry cake resistance in primary drying. MTM measurements can be applied to select the optimum shelf temperature, to determine drying end points and to evaluate residual moisture content in secondary drying in real-time. The freeze dryer overload conditions can be estimated by calculation of heat/mass flow at the target product temperature. Therefore, MTM can serve as a powerful Process Analytical Technology for freeze-drying at laboratory and manufacturing scales.
11:45 Factory Acceptance Testing and Future Validation
Narlin Beaty, Ph.D., Managing Partner, Mechanical Engineering, Qualification Process Solutions, LLC

A successful FAT and subsequent validation are all about meeting expectations. The vendor must be apprised of his role by the User Requirements Specification. The customer should show up with a specific plan and know that the means to get it done are available. The customer must understand the machine design. At the conclusion of an FAT it is possible to have nearly completed the IQ and to have assured the success of an OQ, but only if the lyophilization vendor has been primed to pass the test.

This presentation gets to the heart of lyo validation with more detail than most half day sessions. After this session, the participant will be able to plan and conduct a FAT.

  • How to assemble IQ paperwork - What to ask for
  • The P&ID - as planned and as built
  • A FAT plan
  • Q Functional Tests - Why each one matters

12:30 Lunch on Own or Luncheon and Strategic Solutions Presentations

1:45 Chairperson乫s Remarks

1:50 Foam Drying: Freeze Drying Done Under Cake Collapse Conditions?
Vu L. Truong, Ph.D., Vice President, R&D, Aridis Pharmaceuticals

Using freeze dryers to dry biopharmaceuticals into foamy cake structures (i.e. foam drying) is a half-century old drying process that has long been dismissed as unconventional and nothing more than a poorly designed freeze drying process. However, the recent understandings of the interplay among drying processes, solid state properties, and formulation parameters have enhanced our understanding of this unique drying process and its potential usefulness in drying and stabilizing biopharmaceuticals. This talk will review the foam drying processes landscape.

  • Learn technical details of the foam drying process and how it compares to conventional lyophilization
  • Learn the impact of process parameters on solid state properties and how they impact product performance
  • Evaluate the commercial usefulness of foam drying biopharmaceuticals
2:20 Containing and Protecting Potent Compounds in a "Closed" System
Joseph Brendle, Global Product Manager, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.
Many of the therapeutic products in today乫s pipeline are becoming more potent. One implication of these highly active products is increased costs for facilities, capital equipment, and cleaning and validation. These costs have led to an increasing interest in the implementation of single-use components in the manufacturing process, which can help reduce these costs. The freeze-drying process has its own unique challenges with regard to handling these highly active products. The processing of these products must normally be done in open systems in order to allow the transport of water vapor from the product to the ice condenser. Because the systems are open, the product faces both a risk of microbial and particulate contamination, as well as the product potentially contaminating equipment and the environment. This presentation will discuss single-use technology available to provide containment of freeze-dried product, while allowing the transport of solvent vapor from the frozen product, providing a balance between aseptic processing needs and product containment needs.
2:50 Case Study: Lyophilization of an Antibody Conjugate
Palani Palaniappan, Ph.D., Senior Director, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Millennium Pharmaceuticals
Lyophilized drug product of an antibody conjugate will be described. Details of the presentation will include pre-formulation, formulation screening and lyocycle development. Stability evaluations of the prototypes will be described and recommendations for storage and expiry will be presented.
3:20 Stabilization of Proteins by Supercritical Fluid Drying
Dr. Wim Jiskoot, Professor of Drug Delivery Technology, Leiden University
Among the several drying techniques available, supercritical fluid (SCF) drying is especially attractive for reasons of mild process conditions, cost-effectiveness, capability of producing microparticulate protein powders and feasibility of scaling-up. In this presentation I will explain the potential of SCF processing for the drying of formulated proteins from aqueous solutions, using myoglobin and human serum IgG as model proteins. Moreover, I will discuss ways to optimize the formulation and the processing conditions. 

3:35 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall 

Two-Part Case Study Presentation

4:30 Developing a Scientifically Sound Formulation and Optimizing the Lyophilization Process 
J. Jeff Schwegman, Ph.D., Founder/Chief Scientific Officer, BioConvergence LLC

Due to the short life of a patent for a new molecular entity (NME), it is in a company乫s best interest financially, to reduce the time it takes to complete formulation lyophilization cycle development/optimization studies, allowing them to get their products to market sooner. Understanding and applying the latest techniques in these areas of development, makes this process more efficient, and helps to ensure that the products will be stable over the labeled shelf life.
