Miller GT, Caiazzo TM, Joyce A. Long term investigation of formulation buffers to mitigate stability issues of conjugated critical reagents. J Immunol Methods 2024:113742. [PMID: 39153729 DOI: 10.1016/j.jim.2024.113742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
Stability of conjugated critical reagents supporting ligand binding assays to enable biotherapeutic drug development is a universal concern. Formulation buffer employed for long-term cold storage may be key to mitigate protein aggregation issues. We investigated biophysical and functional attributes of murine mAb and human multispecific drug labeled with biotin, ruthenium, and Alexa fluor 647 frozen at -80 °C in PBS or a protein storage buffer for 3-15 months. Aggregation was observed at 4 months in mAb A-Ru (11.2%) and -Alexa (10%) in PBS followed by precipitation and reduced biological binding at 15 months. Increased aggregation in drug Ru (11.7%, 6 months) and Alexa (6.9%, 15 months) were noted but without impact on performance. There were no observations with biotin labeled reagents.

Bas TG, Duarte V. Biosimilars in the Era of Artificial Intelligence-International Regulations and the Use in Oncological Treatments. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:925. [PMID: 39065775 PMCID: PMC11279612 DOI: 10.3390/ph17070925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This research is based on three fundamental aspects of successful biosimilar development in the challenging biopharmaceutical market. First, biosimilar regulations in eight selected countries: Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, and South Africa, represent the four continents. The regulatory aspects of the countries studied are analyzed, highlighting the challenges facing biosimilars, including their complex approval processes and the need for standardized regulatory guidelines. There is an inconsistency depending on whether the biosimilar is used in a developed or developing country. In the countries observed, biosimilars are considered excellent alternatives to patent-protected biological products for the treatment of chronic diseases. In the second aspect addressed, various analytical AI modeling methods (such as machine learning tools, reinforcement learning, supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning tools) were analyzed to observe patterns that lead to the prevalence of biosimilars used in cancer to model the behaviors of the most prominent active compounds with spectroscopy. Finally, an analysis of the use of active compounds of biosimilars used in cancer and approved by the FDA and EMA was proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) by multicolor flow cytometry is a complex laboratory developed test (LDT), challenging for implementation. We share our experience in the validation of a 12-color AML MRD flow cytometry assay to meet stringent regulatory requirements. METHODS We worked under the guidelines of the CLSI HL62 publication, illustrated the details of the validation process that was tailored to uniqueness of AML MRD, and tested its clinical validity in 61 patients. The "trueness" was determined by correlating with concurrent molecular genetic testing and follow-up bone marrow examinations. RESULTS Under assay specificity, we shared the details of panel design, analysis, and criteria for interpretation and reporting. The assay accuracy was assessed by testing known positive and negative samples and correlating with molecular genetic testing and follow-up bone marrow examination. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were validated to a level between 0.01% and 0.1%, varied from the leukemia-associated immunophenotypes (LAIP) and the numbers of events obtained for analysis. Assay linearity, precision and carry over studies all met acceptable criteria. In the clinical validity test, the concordance was 93%, specificity 98% and sensitivity 83%. The most challenging aspects of the assay were the discrimination of pre-leukemic cells (persistent clonal hematopoiesis) or underlying myelodysplastic clones from AML MRD with immunophenotypic switch or subclone selection. CONCLUSION The validation met all criteria and obtained FDA IDE (investigational device exemption) approval. This study provides ample technical and professional details in setting up the AML MRD flow cytometry assay and illustrates through the example of the "fit for purpose" validation process. We also highlight the need for further characterization of abnormal blasts bearing the potential for AML relapse.

Abstract
The 2022 16th Workshop on Recent Issues in Bioanalysis (WRIB) took place in Atlanta, GA, USA on September 26-30, 2022. Over 1000 professionals representing pharma/biotech companies, CROs, and multiple regulatory agencies convened to actively discuss the most current topics of interest in bioanalysis. The 16th WRIB included 3 Main Workshops and 7 Specialized Workshops that together spanned 1 week in order to allow exhaustive and thorough coverage of all major issues in bioanalysis, biomarkers, immunogenicity, gene therapy, cell therapy and vaccines. Moreover, in-depth workshops on ICH M10 BMV final guideline (focused on this guideline training, interpretation, adoption and transition); mass spectrometry innovation (focused on novel technologies, novel modalities, and novel challenges); and flow cytometry bioanalysis (rising of the 3rd most common/important technology in bioanalytical labs) were the special features of the 16th edition. As in previous years, WRIB continued to gather a wide diversity of international, industry opinion leaders and regulatory authority experts working on both small and large molecules as well as gene, cell therapies and vaccines to facilitate sharing and discussions focused on improving quality, increasing regulatory compliance, and achieving scientific excellence on bioanalytical issues. This 2022 White Paper encompasses recommendations emerging from the extensive discussions held during the workshop and is aimed to provide the bioanalytical community with key information and practical solutions on topics and issues addressed, in an effort to enable advances in scientific excellence, improved quality and better regulatory compliance. Due to its length, the 2022 edition of this comprehensive White Paper has been divided into three parts for editorial reasons. This publication (Part 3) covers the recommendations on Gene Therapy, Cell therapy, Vaccines and Biotherapeutics Immunogenicity. Part 1 (Mass Spectrometry and ICH M10) and Part 2 (LBA, Biomarkers/CDx and Cytometry) are published in volume 15 of Bioanalysis, issues 16 and 15 (2023), respectively.

Abstract
The term "bioanalytical" encompasses a much greater breadth of analytical deliverables than ever before. Circulating drug concentration data are complemented by experimental evidence of drug in biophase, immunogenicity, target engagement and subsequent pathway modulation. Many bioanalytical assays bridge the traditional divide across discovery and development. Our approach is the Bioanalytical Hub model bringing together a wide breadth of bioanalytical support (GxP and non-GxP), multiple endpoints (PK, ADA and biomarkers) and analytical platforms (LC/MS, immunoassay, flow cytometry, genomics, immunohistochemistry) onto a common lab footprint. This maximizes instrument utilization, facilitates workforce agility and enhances data interpretation capability while reducing the number of hand-offs as assays evolve from their origins as exploratory endpoints to fully characterized to support primary and secondary endpoints.

Abstract
Degree of labeling and label efficiency are key factors for optimal characterization of critical reagents that are used in ligand binding assays. Here, three case studies are shown demonstrating how liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was utilized to characterize critical reagents using three unique methodologies. Critical reagent batches were prepared for LC-MS analysis by use of: 20 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) (Case 1), rapid PNGaseF (Case 2), and a mobile phase diluent (Case 3). LC-MS was run at three different MS method conditions in each troubleshooting case specific for reduced IgG, intact IgG, and native LC-MS, respectively. Specified LC-MS methods based on sample type and configuration elucidated clear MS profiles, allowing for degree of labeling and label efficiencies to be calculated. Ultimately the LC-MS analyses were fine-tuned for critical reagent characterization, and practices for analyzing similar reagents in the future can be established.

Abstract
Decades of discussion and publication have gone into the guidance from the scientific community and the regulatory agencies on the use and validation of pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic assays by chromatographic and ligand binding assays for the measurement of drugs and metabolites. These assay validations are well described in the FDA Guidance on Bioanalytical Methods Validation (BMV, 2018). While the BMV included biomarker assay validation, the focus was on understanding the challenges posed in validating biomarker assays and the importance of having reliable biomarker assays when used for regulatory submissions, rather than definition of the appropriate experiments to be performed. Different from PK bioanalysis, analysis of biomarkers can be challenging due to the presence of target analyte(s) in the control matrices used for calibrator and quality control sample preparation, and greater difficulty in procuring appropriate reference standards representative of the endogenous molecule. Several papers have been published offering recommendations for biomarker assay validation. The situational nature of biomarker applications necessitates fit-for-purpose (FFP) assay validation. A unifying theme for FFP analysis is that method validation requirements be consistent with the proposed context of use (COU) for any given biomarker. This communication provides specific recommendations for biomarker assay validation (BAV) by LC-MS, for both small and large molecule biomarkers. The consensus recommendations include creation of a validation plan that contains definition of the COU of the assay, use of the PK assay validation elements that support the COU, and definition of assay validation elements adapted to fit biomarker assays and the acceptance criteria for both.

Abstract
Receptor occupancy (RO) assessment by flow cytometry is an important pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarker in the clinical development of large molecules such as monoclonal therapeutic antibodies (mAbs). The total‐drug‐bound RO assay format directly assesses mAb binding to cell surface targets using anti‐drug detection antibodies. Here, we generated a flow cytometry detection antibody specifically binding to mAbs of the IgG1 P329GLALA backbone. Using this reagent, we developed a total‐drug‐bound RO assay format for RG7769, a bi‐specific P329GLALA containing mAb targeting PD‐1 and TIM3 on T cells. In its fit‐for‐purpose validated version, this RO assay has been used in the Phase‐I dose escalation study of RG7769, informing on peripheral T cell RO and RG7769 antibody binding capacity (ABC). We assessed RG7769 RO in checkpoint‐inhibitor (CPI) naïve patients and anti‐PD‐1 CPI experienced patients using our novel assay. Here, we show that in both groups, complete T cell RO can be achieved (~100%). However, we found that the maximum number of T cell binding sites for RG7769 pre‐dosing was roughly twofold lower in patients recently having undergone anti‐PD‐1 treatment. We show that this is due to steric hindrance exerted by competing mAbs masking the available drug binding sites. Our findings highlight the importance of quantitative mAb assessment in addition to relative RO especially in the context of patients who have previously received anti‐PD‐1 treatment.
