2 slide 2 “Quality Can Be Planned.” Joseph M. Juran

3 slide 3 Tox Knowledge Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Commercial Process Knowledge Generation Lifecycle of a Manufacturing Process Development Optimization Characterization Validation Filing Costly post-approval changes Fixed Process

4 slide 4 Lonza`s New Approach to QbD and Process Characterization in Biomanufacturing Industry Standard ≈ 500 Experimental Runs New Approach ≈ 250 to 375 Experimental Runs Step1 A model bioprocess with 10 unit operations Step 2Step 3Step 4Step 5Step 6Step 7Step 8Step 9Step 10 # experimental runs for process characterization 43-70 Reduced Cost and Timeline

5 slide 5 Key to Keep Process Characterization Cost low is... Efficient Multivariate Experimental Strategies

6 slide 6 ProcessSDM Risk Assessment Validation 1. Main-Effect Screening Study 2. Main-Effect Modeling Study Capability Confirmatory Run(s) Yes No Lonza Expands it`s DoE Toolbox by the Use of Efficient Multivariate Designs Simulation Statistical Model 2. Augmentation No Yes Effect Resolution ? ~25 to 50% fewer runs ? Process Characterization 1. Main-Effect Modeling Study New Approach

11 slide 11 Lonza Continuously Expands it’s DoE Toolbox by the Use of Efficient Multivariate Designs n Six input parameters  only 17 experimental runs n Three test levels  covers non-linear effects n Five center points  estimates pure experimental error 123456 RunPattern Protein (g/L) Quencher (Lysine-HCl, g/L) Time (h)pH Temperature (°C) Formaldehyde / Protein Ratio Aggregate Level (%) 1 ----+00.14407.2392.02.9 2 +-+-0-0.24567.2361.514.9 3 0000000.155487.4362.014.4 4 ++0-++0.26487.2392.527.5 5 0000000.155487.4362.014.6 6 0+----0.156407.2331.53.6 7 -++0+-0.16567.4391.52.5 8 -+-+0+0.16407.6362.58.5 9 0000000.155487.4362.014.1 10 +0-++-0.25407.6391.522 11 -0+--+0.15567.2332.54.2 12 0000000.155487.4362.014.2 13 --0+--0.14487.6331.52.7 14 0000000.155487.4362.015.3 15 0-++++0.154567.6392.528.2 16 ++++-00.26567.6332.030.7 17 +--0-+0.24407.4332.531.9 Input Parameters Output

12 slide 12 Parameter Estimates Provide Insights into Correlations Between Input Parameters and Outputs

13 slide 13 Leverage Plots of the Statistical Model Illustrate Actual by Predicted Output Values Prediction formula

14 slide 14 n SD = 20% range on every input parameter (worst case) n Assumption: normal distribution for input uncertainties n Simulation of 10000 batches n Aggregate level specification: <25% No single batch out of specification. Statistical Models Allow Process Output Simulations Including Input Uncertainties Spec

15 slide 15 Sound Process Characterization Has Significant Benefits for Compliance and Business Compliance n Identification of critical process parameters n Interactions between critical variables n Justification for operating spaces and acceptance criteria n Reproducible quality and yields Business n Improved batch success rates n Yield improvements n Minimize number of process deviations
