Licensed Biological Products with Structural Heterogeneity Andrew C. Chang, Ph.D. Associate Director for Policy and Regulation Division of Hematology, CBER, FDA BPAC, Gaithersburg, MD November 4, 2005
TOPICS TO BE COVERED • Structural Heterogeneity of Biological Products: Case Studies • Plasma derived products - Andrew Chang, Ph.D. OBRR/CBER • Recombinant products and monoclonal antibodies - Kurt Brorson, Ph.D. OPS/CDER
Structural Heterogeneity of Biological Products • Factors contributing to structural heterogeneity • Biosynthetic processes used by living organisms • Manufacture and/or storage of the drug substance and drug product • Control of structural heterogeneity • To demonstrate consistency of the heterogeneity pattern of commercial lots with that of the lots used in preclinical and clinical studies • To assure lot-to-lot consistency, the kind and extent of this heterogeneity should be characterized and controlled
Acylation Amidation or deamidation Carbamylation Carboxylation Formylation Formation of gamma carboxyglutamic acid Methylation Succinimide forms Aspartate isomerization Disulfide linkage Oxidation Phosphorylation Sulphation Proteolysis (terminal or domain deletion) Glycosylation (N-linked, O-linked, site occupancy, terminal groups, fucosylation) Aggregation High order structural change (conformational change or denaturization) Structural Heterogeneity of Biological Products (Cont) Examples of potential structural modifications

Charge Analysis of N-linked Oligosaccharides from FVIII Standards, Recombinant and Plasma Derived FVIII ProductsSchilow et al., Thromb Haemost 2004; 92:427-428
Conclusion • The charge analysis demonstrated heterogeneity of the glycoforms of the tested FVIII products.
Case Study (II) • Characterization of five von Willebrand Factor (VWF) concentrates produced by five different manufacturing processes
Variation of vWF MultimersAmong Five Different VWF Concentrates 1% Gel 2% Gel IS P C-1 C-2 C-3 C-4 C-5 IS P C-1 C-2 C-3 C-4 C-5 Chang et al., Blood 2000; 96:567a, 2434
VWF Activities from 5 Different VWF Concentrates Chang et al., Blood 2000; 96:567a, 2434
Conclusion • The characteristics (e.g., Multimeric pattern and specific activity) of von Willebrand factor concentrates depend on the manufacturing processes.
