Stage 3 – Implementation and Validation of new process operation into GMP manufacturing
Objective
The objective of this Stage is to implement the modified downstream process into at-scale manufacturing, initiate GMP manufacturing and complete Process Validation
Prerequisites and Assumptions
• | The initial at-scale implementation of the modified downstream process included the implementation of a HIC flow-through membrane filter (Engineering run 12-20) and the combination of the HIC membrane filter with a reduced pooling of IEX3 fractions (Engineering run 12-30). These runs demonstrated that the HCP levels in the API would not meet the targeted level of 50 ng/mg. Thus, it is assumed the HIC membrane filter will not be part of the modified process |

APPENDIX B
TIMING
See attached timeline
Assumptions to Attached Timeline
• | Adherence to timeline and deliverables will be managed per the terms outlined in the Commercial Supply Agreement (CSA) |
• | CMC will provide a weekly timeline update to Inspiration. This will include an update for the tasks for percent completion, actual start dates and actual/target dates for completion |
• | The timeline for activities supporting at-scale validation, including bench scale model qualification, bench scale characterization, viral clearance, resin lifetime validation, and stability validation will need finalization. This work will need to be prioritized against other deliverables associated with the MAA and BLA filings. CMC and Inspiration will prioritize and finalize the timing for these activities after signature of this amendment. The target date for completing the prioritization is 14 days after signature of the amendment |
• | The attached timeline assumes that the Validation campaign will occur in Line A and occur in manufacturing slots already reserved by Inspiration. Inspiration has requested evaluation of an option for two Inspiration manufacturing batches scheduled in Line B in the December 2012 to January 2013 timeframe be eliminated so as to execute batches only in Line A. This would provide the ability to compress the timing for the Process Validation/manufacturing batches in Line A and thus enables a more timely completion of the Process Validation batches and subsequent reports. Such a change would have financial considerations as well as implications for the Line B validation and approval plans. These implications and considerations are not subject of this amendment and will need to be resolved per the terms of the relevant amendments and the CSA. The timeline compression options will be evaluated and agreed to by both parties after signature of this amendment. The target date for completing this agreement is 14 days after signature of the amendment |
• | The attached timeline for Validation is based on the process knowledge known to-date. Delays (due to contract negotiations, delay in the re-start of the HCP reduction work, technical challenges, or change in plans for the process to be implemented) will impact the proposed timeline |

FACTOR IX
APPENDIX A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Objective
The objective of this amendment is to define the additional activities that will be executed at CMC in support of the process validation and regulatory filings for Factor IX. This work is outlined below.
Assumptions
• | The attached timeline summarizes activities outlined in this work statement. The timeline shows some activities extending into April 2013 and beyond (e.g., lot release, completion and approval of final reports, etc.). However, the timeline is built around the assumption that CMC and IBI will work to deliver all necessary information (e.g., process validation data, data from bench scale work, draft reports, etc.) in time to support a complete response to the EMA due at the end of April 2013. The target date for the completion/generation of this work is the end of March 2013 in order to enable sufficient time to generate the response for the EMA. |
• | Many of the activities outlined below will require material (e.g., harvest fluid, column eluates, etc) taken from an at-scale manufacturing run. Thus, material taken from the conformance run(s) will be a pre-requisite for these activities |
• | If in the course of execution of this Amendment the scope of work deviates significantly from the scope outlined below, a new amendment will be prepared |
• | CMC will support sample shipment to domestic locations only |
Scope of Work
Resin Cleaning and Lifetime Validation
• | Execute bench scale resin and cleaning and lifetime validation for the new HIC chromatography step |
• | Develop validation protocol (target approximately 15 cycles) |
• | Execute HIC cycling study plus blank runs, on the bench scale; data will be used to validate maximum number of cycles for Manufacturing |
• | Summarize work in Validation Report |
Viral Clearance Validation
• | The HIC step will not be validated as a virus reduction step |
• | Viral clearance of the nano-filtration step will be re-validated for the new high salt feedstream |
• | Develop validation protocol |
• | Execute virus reduction studies at CMC and third party vendor |
• | Summarize results in Validation report |
Impurities Spiking Studies
• | Scope of work and estimates are based on draft version of VAL-30180-01, F90 Process Related Impurity Clearance Validation Plan. Changes to the scope may affect effort and duration estimates. |
• | The scope of impurity clearance is limited to the seven process-related impurities that were part of the F90 process validation protocols: Triton X-100, tri-n-butyl phosphate (TnBP), phenol red, insulin, vitamin K, Pluronic F-68, and CHO host cell DNA |
• | Protocols will be written for process-related impurity clearance. Clearance for each impurity will be a combination of results from at-scale GMP runs and small-scale spiking runs. The use of at-scale GMP runs vs. small scale runs is determined by whether spiking studies are necessary to demonstrate impurity clearance. |
• | At least three runs will be performed or assayed for each impurity. Spiked runs involving a chromatography column will be followed by an unspiked run to check for any column carryover. The exception to the above description is DNA spiking, for which small-scale spiking studies will be performed on all three column chromatography steps to ascertain total process clearance capacity. Selected impurities may be spiked simultaneously if preliminary experiments indicate there is no interference with either elution profiles or with assay results. |
• | Impurity clearance report(s) will summarize the total clearance capacity (i.e. validated impurity clearance capacity of all tested steps in the F90 purification process) for each process-related impurity. |
Day 120 Commitments
• | Redefine process control strategy |
• | Develop project plan for change to definitions of CPPs, CQAs |
• | Perform modified risk assessments for each unit operation and all parameters under current process control strategy |
• | Revise PERs (PJRs and PRAs will not be revised) |
• | Revise CPV protocol to set new baseline for parameters |
• | Revise CPV summary report template |
• | Additional activities required for each F90 batch |
• | Data entry and verification for CPV |
• | Additional assays from revised QST |
Generation of Material for HCP ELISA Method Development
• | Execute bench scale bioreactor/spinner process using mock cell line under approved protocol |
• | Collect cells from bioreactor/spinner and generate cell lysate per protocol |
• | Ship cell lysate material to support development of next generation ELISA |
