Evolving Regulatory Expectation for Particulates in Biologics

20 January 2015, Palo Alto, United States


Introduction
Why Should You Attend:
There is an increased scrutiny on the testing and reporting of particulates in Protein Therapeutics.
Proteinaceous Particulates in Biologics injectibles can arise from the aggregation of the protein product and can be induced by silicone droplets, metal particles and glass particles. Aggregates in protein products present a safety concern because they may increase the immunogenicity of the product. The FDA has therefore requested BLA sponsors to present sub-visible particulate data at the clinical and commercial stage. The initially identified method –gap for suitable techniques for testing particles in the 0.2 - 10 micron range is being rapidly filled by new technologies.
This 90-minute webinar addresses recent discussions in the industry related to testing sub-visible particulates in Biologics injectibles. Recent FDA expectations for reporting data will be discussed. Methods for characterization and routine testing of particulates, their advantages and limitations will be discussed. Case studies where the various methods have been used for characterization of the sub-visible particles will be discussed.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:
Why test for sub-visible particulates in protein therapeutics
Current expectations for testing for particulates in protein therapeutics
USP method for particulate testing in injectibles
Commonly used 'work-horse' methods for particulates
Characterization methods for particulates
Newly emerging methods for subvisible particulates
