Course Overview

In this advanced course, Dr. Nadine Ritter will take a deep dive into the design and execution of the major analytical CMC studies applicable to different types of biological products, with special notes on biosimilars. Best practices in the validation of methods for relative purity, relative potency, and product stability will be presented. Key details in designing phase-appropriate analytical comparability studies will be discussed, with comparison to unique issues for analytical similarity studies.  Strategies will be presented to overcome typical technical challenges in managing reference standard and critical assay reagents. Finally, emerging analytical expectations for HCPs, SVPs, and E&L data will be discussed.

What will you learn?

Method validation

Learn best practices to address the most difficult validation parameters in critical analytical methods for relative purity, relative potency, and specific impurities and degradants with biological products.

Characterization and comparability

Discuss characterization and comparability studies for a wide variety of biologics including monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins, gene therapy, vaccines, plasma products, and complex products (e.g. antibody drug conjugates); review unique challenges in analytical biosimilarity studies

Reference standards

Explore different types and uses of biotechnology reference standards and understand the nature of critical assay reagents.  Discuss important details on lifecycle management of product reference standards and critical assay reagents

HCPs, SVPs, and E&Ls

Understand the background of regulatory concerns for HCPs, SVPs, and E&Ls in biological products, examine the analytical challenges and learn the current and emerging best practices for analytical characterization, comparability, and control of each of these types of process and product impurities.
