BioPhorum feedback on ICH Q14 and Q2(R2)

Sep 2022 | Cell & Gene Therapy, Deliverable, Deliverables Report, Feedback to agency, Regulatory, Regulatory Governance

This paper is the BioPhorum response to the recent ICH Q14 and Q2(R2) consultation. Overall, the first-draft guidelines seen by the team need to be less detailed in the main body of the documents but more specific to analytical methods. The documents must also be consistent throughout (across Q14 and Q2 and between the main body texts and examples). Further, detailed examples are needed for modalities other than small molecules (e.g., biologics, cell and gene therapies, etc.) as the small molecule examples are not relevant in some key respects. In the view of the BioPhorum team, the current documents will not drive a consistent understanding of regulatory expectations and the provision of information by industry to regulators.

Industry feedback on USP bioreactivity draft monographs

Jan 2022 | Deliverable, Deliverables Report, Feedback to agency, Regulatory

This BioPhorum paper contains feedback on the USP bioreactivity monographs to plastics used for manufacturing, and the use of resources. It also comments on the potential in vitro tests that should be included, the removal of the implantation test and safety, the removal of Class I to VI, and the topics for omission or inclusion into the <1031> chapter outline. The expert feedback provided in these documents aims to support the USP and, ultimately, produce documents that improve patient safety – but with adequate use of finite analytical resources, which would not be the case with divergent expectations.

Industry feedback on the bacterial endotoxin test (BET)

Jan 2022 | Deliverable, Deliverables Report, Publication, Regulatory

This paper contains feedback on the USP document Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET): A USP Comparability Study of Recombinant Reagents (Recombinant Factor C and Recombinant Cascade) to Lysate Reagents (LAL). The paper comments on issues such as the feasibility of testing the recommended matrix using four different recombinant reagents and four different lysate reagents, and that water post-deionization (low-purity) but before distillation/ultra-filtration (high-purity) is not representative of samples typically tested for bacterial endotoxins. It also questions whether industry will be able to provide known contaminated samples as these would be difficult to obtain and then compare.

BioPhorum approach to the registration of innovative raw materials using quality by design (QbD) principles
