1 Validation of the BacT/Alert as an Alternative Sterility Test for Dendreon s Autologous Cell Therapy Product Timothy Wood QC Scientist Somatic Cell Therapy Symposium, Bethesda MD September 28,
2 Overview of Manufacturing and Sterility Testing 2
3 Challenges of 21 CFR (or USP Method) Product can render microbiological media turbid Insufficient time for an accurate go no go pre-harvest read Limited shelf life: < 24 hours Sub-culture transfer if necessary would occur post-infusion No bulk product. The Culture Pool (in-process) sterility has been tested to the CFR bulk Repeat testing rules are not appropriate for our product 3
4 Method Validation Challenges Experimental Design No standard available Guidance obtained from the new PDA TR # 33 (Parenteral Drug Assoc.) Guidance from draft USP <1223> Validation of Alternative Micro Methods Input from industry colleagues experience Equivalence challenges Fresh samples from donors for seeded studies are limited and can be logistically challenging Non-seeded side by side testing not possible (limited dose) How to demonstrate when the standard (21 CFR ) does not provide needed assurance? 4
5 Key reasons for selection of BacT/Alert method as alternative Non-destructive (ability to directly subculture positives for ID) Faster detection Sample volume (representative) No sample filtration needed Minimal preparation and manipulation (reduces false positives) Continuous monitoring Similarities to CFR standard (aerobic, anaerobic, sample to media ratio) FDA approved for blood cultures and platelet sterility testing Testing throughput 5
6 BacT/Alert Validation Plan Outline (Phase I & III Products) Installation Qualification (IQ) Feasibility (Proof of Concept) Studies -System suitability (detection of USP panel organisms) -Comparison study with CFR method using fresh healthy donor product samples Operational Qualification (OQ) -Verification of BacT/Alert system operations -Temperature mapping of incubation chambers 6
7 Validation Plan Outline (continued) Method Validation Study Design -6 ATCC strains (USP <71> panel) Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633 Pseudomonas aeruginosaatcc9027 Clostridium sporogenes ATCC Candida albicans ATCC Aspergillus niger ATCC environmental / product isolates Bacillus dipsosauri Staphylococcus epidermidis Brevibacillus brevi Micrococcus luteus Rhodococcus sp. Bacillus sp. 7
8 Validation Plan Outline (continued) Method Validation Study -Test article in triplicates vs. non-product control bottles without product (B/F -bacteriostasis/fungistasis) -BacT/Alert Incubation: 35 C for up to 14 days -Acceptance criteria: -Specificity (ATCC strains & isolates detected in products) -Detection Time (< 7 days) -LOD (Sensitivity <10 CFU/bottle) -Repeatability/Ruggedness (multiple product lots, culture bottles, operators) 8
9 Feasibility: Suitability of BacT/Alert Culture bottles Hrs Growth Promotion < 100 CFU Time to Positive BT/A bottles vs CFR/USP Method (typical values) BacT/Alert USP Method B subtilis 6633 S aureus 6538 P ae ruginosa 9027 C sporogenes C albicans A niger ATCC strain 9
