انقباض ناشی از حمل و نقل در آنتی بادی های درمانی: استفاده از مدل مقیاس پایین برای ارزیابی تخریب در آنتی بادی های مونوکلونال

It is vital to understand the impact of transportation on monoclonal antibody (mAb) product quality during drug product development. Fully representative real-time shipment studies are resource intensive, so in this work, we studied laboratory agitation methods to mimic the effect of real-time shipment on aggregation, specifically subvisible particle formation. The agitation methods studied include a rotator, orbital shaker, vortexer, and shipping simulator vibration table. The simulator is able to predict the particle formation behavior during real-time shipment for a number of mAbs in vial and prefilled syringe configurations, with a correlation of about 90%, whereas the other methods of agitation were inconsistent. This study demonstrates that using a shipping simulator vibration table provides an opportunity for consistent and predictive development studies of shipping stress with minimal resource requirements during early- or late-stage drug product development.
