4th Annual Extractables & Leachables Summit 2024 - uventia

4th Annual Extractables & Leachables Summit 2024

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

One of the most important phases of the biopharmaceutical development process is the evaluation of extractables and leachables. Regulatory bodies are particularly concerned about the interactions of pharmaceutical products with container closure systems, drug delivery devices, and bioprocess manufacturing systems. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully evaluate the migration of mobile molecules from the materials and components used in the production and storage of pharmaceuticals.

We host a virtual conference where scientists, toxicologists, and E&L managers may exchange ideas about the most recent analytical approaches, regulatory updates, risk-based E&L programs, chemical characterization, and toxicological risk assessment. We also discuss analytical and safety thresholds, medical device materials, ISO 10993-18, and customized systems for various product kinds.

Come to our event and discover the latest approaches for extractables and leachables analysis and testing. This should help you greatly reduce the risks connected with E&L while also ensuring patient safety and product integrity.

Summit Agenda

◆  The differences between Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) and traditional biopharmaceutical products create new challenges for extractables and leachables (E&L) assessments. These issues are particularly important considering the increasing reliance on single-use systems (SUS). While SUS extractables data can serve as a basis for assessing ATMP applications, there are significant opportunities to improve assessment tools for exposure estimation and toxicological evaluation. In ATMP applications cells or viruses are the therapeutic product and a patient exposure estimation for leachables must consider both the liquid phase and the therapeutic biological material.

We tested forty-five commonly found extractbales and processing aids in a high-throughput screening cell-painting assay using a human cell line. Results showed that most compounds did not create a response in the > 550 cell features analyzed. Only three candidates were found to show an effect in this assay, including the antioxidant degradant bDtBPP, known to be detrimental to cell growth. Further, a concept is developed that allowes to model process equipment-related leachables (PERLs) exposure in an ATMP production environment.

In summary, cell-based products' exposure to PERLs is expected to fall far below critical effective concentrations. Nonetheless, avoiding materials of construction containing extractables with a known detrimental effect to cells is advisable.

Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbH, DE

◆  HPLC with 3 orthogonal detectors allows quantitation of unknowns by charged aerosol detectorand identification by easy-to-use low resolution MS

◆  Classification of unknowns as non-volatile or semi-volatile in the CAD reduces the uncertainty factor and improves quantification by surrogate standard.

◆  When using an inverse gradient, improved mixing with an inline capillary mixer after the merge point of the analytical and inverse gradients reduces inter-compound %RSD

◆  The safety and analytical science expectations of E&L from the perspective of a quantitative “global” space of extractables and leachables in volatility, hydrophobicity, and molecular weight.

◆  A critical review of the current state of analytical testing strategies, including uncertainty on E&L testing.

◆  A critical overview of the major analytical challenges in solvent choice, sample treatment, mass balance, method sensitivity, response factor, accuracy of quantitation and identification, etc, with specific examples.

◆  Tips for choosing an analytical partner.

Chemical Characterization Solutions, LLC, USA

◆  Discusses various contexts in which in silico methods are applied in E&L assessments.

◆  Defines the fitness-for-purpose of in silico models in these contexts.

Maven E&L Ltd, UK

◆  Introduction to general safety and regulatory considerations for extractables/ leachables (E&Ls) in pharmaceutical products.

◆  Considerations for ocular administration routes.

◆  Evaluation of biocompatibility and toxicological risk.

◆  The verification of analytical methods.

Chemo Group, ES

◆  Annecdotely, it’s been stated that extractable screening data obtained between laboratories will be unaligned to at least some extent in the qualitative and/or quantitative profiles reported, which has been hypothesized to be attributable to differences in the methods and procedures used.

◆  To that end, ELSIE has surveyed a large number of CRO and pharmaceutical (sponsor) companies with the goal of better understanding variations in methods and lab practices used between labs with the goal of understanding the extent of such variation that currently exists in the E/L field.

◆  This presentation will discuss the data obtained from these surveys, highlighting areas of alignment, or lack thereof, for key method/procedural aspects including surrogate standard selection, uncertainty factor determination and usage, system suitability parameters, and relevant methodology variables.

Baxter Healthcare, USA

◆  Composition of elastomers used for pharmaceutical applications.

◆  Material composition and extractables.
