Definition of the Prototype Project Sample Clauses

Definition of the Prototype Project. Consistent with USG objectives, Regeneron will employ its proprietary manufacturing technology and processes, in a manner compliant with applicable laws and regulations, including 21 CFR 210 and 211 and, to the extent applicable, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, to manufacture the prototype product. This effort constitutes a prototype project because it will be used to evaluate the technical feasibility of manufacturing the prototype product during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, this is a prototype project because Regeneron will demonstrate, and prove-out the at-scale, multi-lot proprietary manufacturing activities of Regeneron in order to assess the feasibility of these activities to support the necessary quantity of the prototype product to treat the U.S. population. Successful completion of the prototype project will demonstrate Regeneron’s capability to (i) rapidly manufacture product, which can be further scaled-up to meet mutually agreed to surge requirements with little advance notification and (ii) facilitate the Government’s ability to stockpile and distribute large quantities of the drug product to respond when needed, including for use in clinical studies, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), or pursuant to other approval from the U.S. FDA. For clarity, any manufacturing and supply of drug product in excess of the specific quantities set forth in Section 4.0 of this Statement of Work, shall be subject to a separate mutual agreement between Regeneron and the Government.

Definition of the Prototype Project. Consistent with USG objectives, the “prototype project” under this agreement is defined as the manufacture and delivery of 100M doses of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, NVX-CoV2373, which is suitable for use in humans under a sufficiently informed deployment strategy, and the advanced positioning of a stockpile of critical long lead raw materials for the Matrix-M adjuvant. As such, the “prototype project” will effectively demonstrate Novavax’s ability to rapidly stand up large scale manufacturing and seamlessly transition into ongoing production. The NVX-CoV-2373 vaccine is comprised of the Matrix-M™ adjuvant, and antigen (SARS-CoV-2 spike protein). The vaccine is filled into a multi-dose vial ([***]) and is stored at refrigerated temperature (2-8oC). Successful development of the prototype will demonstrate Novavax’s ability to rapidly stand up large scale manufacturing and seamlessly transition into ongoing production capability, in order to rapidly manufacture to meet surge requirements with little advance notification, and demonstrate capability to stockpile and distribute large quantities of the vaccine to respond when needed, including in order to supply use in clinical studies, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), or pursuant to other clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Successful completion of the prototype will require three coordinated and integrated lines of effort: a) Large scale manufacturing, compliant with 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211, and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCA), to the extent applicable at the time of manufacturing by statute and FDA interpretive guidance thereof. b) Parallel nonclinical and clinical studies required to determine if the vaccine is safe and effective. c) Compliance with all applicable U.S. regulatory requirements. It is important to note that while results of nonclinical and clinical studies are critical to develop use case scenarios and, in turn, inform the USG’s deployment strategy as it relates to product manufactured under this agreement, successful development of the prototype is dependent only on the validity of data from these studies. The degree to which the data are “positive” or “negative” is not a factor in demonstration of the prototype.
