The Critical Role of Forced Degradation in Method Development, Manufacturability, and CMC Strategy
Summary: Join us to discover the critical role of forced degradation conditions in method development, manufacturability, aggregation, and other essential quality attributes. This session will delve into the analysis of an IgG1 antibody subjected to various forced degradation pathways, utilizing advanced techniques such as SV-AUC, SEC-MALS, and DLS. Gain valuable insights into sedimentation coefficients, molecular weight, polydispersity, and particle size analysis, and understand how these factors help optimize the CMC strategy of your monoclonal antibody therapeutics.
KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand the importance of forced degradation studies in the development and quality assessment of biotherapeutics.
- Learn how advanced techniques help to understand and evaluate stability and critical quality attributes.
- Explore how data from forced degradation studies inform method development and manufacturability decisions.
