New Product Introduction •
To date all products produced at the site have been very similar from a cleaning perspective i.e. – Same class of protein – all are mAb’s
– Same carbon content 53 % carbon, – All readily recovered from product contact surfaces using swab & rinse.
– All are fully inactivated by the cleaning agents
Points to consider
EMA Guideline on setting health based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities
BPOG / EFPIA submission – EMA Workshop Sep 2013
For biological and vaccine products, the determination of health based exposure limits, such as PDEs, assumes residual product after cleaning is active and the level of activity is comparable to product activity prior to
residual product after cleaning is active and the level of activity is comparable to product activity prior to exposure to cleaning agents and conditions. Under typically used cleaning conditions, biological products such as monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins and vaccines are known to degrade and denature rapidly, and are therefore likely to become pharmacologically inactive. If it can be demonstrated that the biological product becomes degraded after exposure to applicable cleaning conditions the determination of health
product becomes degraded after exposure to applicable cleaning conditions, the determination of health based exposure limits should not be required.

Preclinical ‐ Product Approach
•
For Preclinical in Cell Culture 2
– Full use of disposables ‐ bypass of centrifuge
– Dedicated Pre‐clinical columns ‐ removes need to Cleaning studies to be complete
•
For Preclinical in Purification Suite 2
– Dedicated Pre‐clinical equipment Train ‐ removes need to Cleaning studies to be complete
– Dedicated Columns –
