LETTER FROM THE CO-CHAIRS
Dear Friends, Colleagues, Collaborators and Peers,
Three decades after the licensure of the first monoclonal antibody, interest remains strong in this product class. An estimated 300 compounds are currently in various stages of clinical development for treatment of cancers, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and other disorders. The intense focus on monoclonal antibodies has in turn driven significant developments in the chemistry, manufacturing and control aspects associated with com-mercial production. Years of accumulated process knowledge, platform approaches and application of QbD have enabled, for example, design spaces and modular claims for adventitious agent clearance and even elimination of routine testing for certain impurity types. Despite these achievements, changes in regulations and advances in analytical and computational technology will continually drive the need to re-examine existing practices and identify opportunities for improvements.
Ensuring the quality of monoclonal antibodies through appropriately designed control strategies clearly remains an area of focus for manufacturers and regulators alike. For this reason, the planning committee has selected this topic as the theme of this year’s workshop. The objective of the workshop is to examine the current state-of-the-art for process development of monoclonal antibodies and explore technologies that will influence new CM&C approaches.
Through high-level presentations, case studies and panel discussions, you will learn about the latest trends, current best practices and future expectations from thought leaders in our industry.
We also plan for ample networking opportunities with a large number of exhibiting companies, fellow speakers and regulatory representatives. A networking event on Tuesday evening, 20 September will provide a chance to relax with your colleagues after a full day of learning and professional exchange.
In addition to the two-day conference, we are proud to offer you a large selection of post-conference training courses. Please refer to the event brochure for more details.
On behalf of the program planning committee and PDA, we are pleased to invite you to the PDA Europe Monoclonal Antibody Workshop “Ensuring mAbs’ Quality – Current Considerations for Control Strategy Design“ in Rome!

CONFERENCE AGENDA
Session 3: Particles and Immunogenicity Moderator: Ursula Busse, Novartis
Sterile injectable products need to be produced to standards of quality, purity, and sterility that include being essentially free of extraneous matter such as particles. Despite guidance in producing product that is “essentially free” of particles, manufacturing such product is very challenging. In addition, limited data exists on the potential risk of administering particles to patients. The exception are subvisible (<10 µm) protein aggregates that were shown to solicit immune responses in both preclinical and clinical studies. This session will cover the medical risk of particles in injectable biopharmaceuticals. It will address characterization, control, current inspection methods and acceptance criteria for particulate matter in protein based drug products. The session will conclude with a regulator’s perspective on quality attributes related to immunogenicity.

Wednesday, 21 September 2016Session 4: Emerging Trends for Process
Related Impurity ControlModerator: Michael De Felippis,
Eli Lilly
The successful commercialization of a number of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies has facilitated application of many common strategies to manufacturing and quality assessment. In the case of process-related impurity control, improvements in raw material quality and separation science, years of accumulated process knowledge, platform approaches and application of QbD has enabled, for example, design spaces and modular claims for adventitious agent clearance and even elimination of routine testing for certain impurity types. Despite these achievements, changes in regulations and advances in analytical and computational technology will continually drive the need to re-examine existing practices and identify opportunities for improvements. This session explores emerging trends in the design of control strategies for process-related impurities with a focus on adventitious agents and host cell proteins.

Session 5: Statistical Approaches Moderator: Francesca Luciani, ISS
The use of statistics in the CMC area for complex biologics’ manufacturing processes with inherently variable outputs is still a challenge for both industry and regulators. This session addresses the use of statistical tools in the CMC area from a technical and regulatory perspective, including case studies. The evolution and application of continued process verification to the mAb drug substance manufacturing process will be discussed, as well as potential opportunities to employ statistical tools to examine data from a process control and capability perspective. Process monitoring metrics will be presented with reference to QbD and the a-Mab case study.

Session 6: Real Time Release and Control Strategy in the Production of Monoclonal Antibodies
Moderator: Rich Levy, PDA
As the biotechnology industry is working out the practicalities of implementing RTR in existing and new manufacturing processes, the majority of the anticipated benefits remain unfulfilled. Many technical questions remain regarding PAT including instrumentation, conducting in-line or on-line tests, data collection and analysis. Global regulatory authorities’ expectations are becoming clearer through recent guidance, but there is still a need for more clarity on how to introduce RTR into regulatory submissions, such as the common technical document, as well as how to implement RTR measurement systems in existing approved and new manufacturing processes.

From Gene to Product –Tailormade Strategies for High Level Expression of Biologicals
Overview Biologicals, well known proteins with a diversity of distinct bioactivity, are involved in many biological processes. Nearly identical to naturally produced in the human body, these biomolecules play an active role as targets for pharmaceutical and diagnostic applications. However, the realization of future appli-cations in the medical field requires tailor made strategies for the in vitro production of recombinant proteins. The synthetic access to these “artificial complex compounds” is still challenging. Following the mission statement from “gene to product” this lecture will provide an overview on the development of efficient strategies for high level expression of biologically active molecules.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:• Explain the routes from genes to native proteins • Apply the routes from genes to recombinant proteins• Evaluate the differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic expression systems • Understand the importance of profound knowledge of complex proteins and underlying challenges for

CMC Regulatory Compliance for BiopharmaceuticalsOverview
Biopharmaceuticals are being developed by many companies whose Chemistry, Manufac-turing & Control (CMC) teams have varying degrees of familiarity or experience with the regu-latory requirements for these challenging products. Companies clearly understand the critical importance of their human clinical study strategy, but frequently, the development of a strategy for Chemistry, Manufacturing & Controls (CMC) is an afterthought. Add the frequent lack of CMC regulatory compliance experience in some companies, coupled with the complexity of the biological manufacturing processes and products, and this can be a recipe for disaster.
This course will provide insights and practical guidance for the CMC teams to develop an acceptable cost-effective CMC regulatory compliance strategy for biopharmaceuticals from early clinical stage development through market approval. The course emphasis will include FDA, EMA and ICH guidance.
Who Should Attend This course is designed specifically for those involved in or interested in the manufacture and control and CMC regulatory issues of biopharmaceuticals, including Senior Management, Directors and Managers/Supervisors, QA/QC, Regulatory Affairs, Manufacturing and Process Development personnel.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:• Explain the importance and underlying principles of an effective CMC regulatory strategy for biopharmaceuti-
cals to move your products through clinical development into the marketplace• Explain the importance and underlying principles for CMC regulatory compliance of biopharmaceuticals and
how this leads regulatory agencies to have different CMC regulatory requirements for biotech products com-pared to pharmaceuticals of chemical origin.
FacultyJohn Geigert, PhD, BioPharmaceutical QualityJohn Geigert is President of BioPharmaceutical Quality Solutions, which for the last 12 years has specialized in provid-ing CMC regulatory strategy consulting for the biopharmaceutical and biologic industry. He has over 35 years of CMC industrial experience and leadership in the biopharmaceutical industry. He has held senior management positions as Vice President of Quality at both IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation in San Diego and Immunex Corporation in Seattle, and he was Director of Product Development at Cetus Corporation in Berkeley. At these companies, he helped lead the CMC efforts to obtain regulatory approvals for 6 biopharmaceutical products now commercially available in the U.S.
and in Europe. John Geigert has served on the PDA Board of Directors, current co-chairs the PDA Biotech Advisory Board, and has served as an expert member of the USP Biotechnology Committee. He is the author of the book The Challenge of CMC Regulatory Compliance for Biopharmaceuticals and Other Biologics 2nd Edition, and has written extensively for RAPS Focus (What Senior Management Needs to Know About CMC Regulatory Compliance for Biotech Products (Aug-Nov 2009, 4-part series)), Demystifying CMC Regulatory Strategy (Sept 2011-Mar 2012, 4-part series).

TWO-DAY TRAINING COURSE
The Metrics of Process Monitoring & Understanding the Risks of VariationOverview
The truth of product quality is hidden in the data. Statistical methods provide objective evidence in meeting goals of compliance and performance. This course provides guidance to identify and use statistical process monitoring methods to validate, calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot. The course will convey the appropriate use of statistical methods at a level and in a way that will be easily understood. Hands-on experience using a syringe filler will generate data to mea-sure, quantify, and compare sources of variation. Common methods such as comparing sample summary parameters, confidence intervals vs tolerance intervals, and control charts will be de-scribed, typical applications will be identified and pros and cons of each method will be exam-ined. Examples of each method will be described to show how they can be used in a real-world setting. This course will utilize PDA Technical Report No. 59, Utilization of Statistical Methods for Production Monitoring as a resource.
Who Should Attend Persons involved in the following functions/disciplines will find this course of value:• Manufacturing Engineering• Process Engineering• Process Improvement
• Process Validation• Project Analysis• Quality Assurance
• Quality Control• Quality Systems• Risk Assessment
Learning Objectives: • Improve interpretation of quality
control and manufacturing data
• Detect patterns hidden in data to make right decisions
• Avoid loss of batches and money due to misinterpretation of data

Extractables & LeachablesIncluding: Important Regulatory Updates – Case Study Section: Selection of Toxikons most interesting Case Studies, presented over the last 10 years!
OverviewWhen making Parenteral Drug Products, pharmaceutical companies are faced with the need to further investigate the materials that will be in contact with the drug product, either during manufacturing, in-termediate storage, storage in its final packaging, or during the delivery of the drug to the patient. While historically, the potential safety issues were the main driver in these kinds of investigations, recently, also quality issues – i.e. for biopharmaceuticals – have become an additional concern.
This workshop will look at “Extractables & Leachables” from many different angles: Definitions, Regula-tory, Material & Polymer Science, Analytical E/L Methodologies, Safety Assessments, Study Design for different parenteral primary packaging systems, as well as for injection devices.
In addition, during the workshop, a full session will be dedicated to an in-depth update on regulations, standards and recommendations in this field (PQRI, USP, BPOG…).
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop, you will be able to:
• Explain in detail the current regulatory requirements for container / closure qualification form an E/L perspective.
• Explain the upcoming changes in regulations, standards and recom-mendations from PQRI, USP and BPOG and how these changes could impact a future evaluation of a pharmaceutical C/C-system.
• Understand the materials of construction – and their composition – of container closure systems, and how they could impact the safety and quality of a parenteral drug product.
• Put together an evaluation program (review of provided documenta-tion, analytical testing) of different types of parenteral drug product container/closure systems.
• Perform a safety/risk assessment of analytical results, obtained after completion of an E/L study.
Who Should Attend
• Pharmaceutical Packaging and Device Engineers
• Production Engineers, using SU systems
• Regulatory Affairs Officers
• Pharmaceutical R & D Managers
• Analytical Chemists, working on E/L
• Quality Assurance Officers
