TS2A: Formulation, Development, and Manufacturing of Biopharmaceutical Drug Products

This training seminar offers a forum on how to develop sound formulations for biologic drugs, including modern approaches to achieve stable and patient-friendly drug products. The instructor will cover the fundamental knowledge and best practices that will provide the attendee with the necessary tools to be proficient in both the art and science of biopharmaceutical formulation development. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate how to incorporate QbD concepts to do risk assessment, design multivariate experiments, and assess critical quality attributes including subvisible particle characterization in order to develop robust formulation for bulk drug substance or final drug product in the context of designated container closure systems. This course utilizes real-world examples and interactive discussion.

Topics to be covered include:

Introduction to the role of protein formulation development in the biopharmaceutical industry
Mechanisms for physical degradation of proteins and strategies for prevention and management
Mechanisms for chemical degradation of proteins and strategies to prevent chemical degradation in protein formulations
Overview of analytical methods for monitoring protein structure and degradation, including analysis and management of impurities such as sub-visible and visible particles
Global strategy for rational development of stable protein formulations
Case studies in biopharmaceutical formulation development, including high/low concentration antibody formulations and delivery device integration to create combination products
Challenges in the development and manufacture of protein drug products, including strategies for overcoming these challenges
Regulatory aspects of biologics formulation development, including regulatory guidance, and more

TS4A: Introduction to CMC for Biotherapeutic Products: Bioprocessing and Analytical

This 1-day training seminar provides a comprehensive overview of the phase-appropriate CMC activities for biotherapeutic products and introduces the brand new CTD Quality guidance (2026). The curriculum is meticulously designed to cover not only bioprocessing activities such as cell line development, process development, qualification and manufacturing, but also analytical activities such as analytical development, validation, reference standard qualification, rational formulation, specifications, QC release and stability, extended characterization and comparability exercise. Join this interactive educational class to learn how to execute CMC activities and how to prepare eCTD Module 2.3 and Module 3 Quality for regulatory submission. The common CMC pitfalls, queries from health authorities worldwide, and Complete Response Letters (CRLs) will be exemplified throughout this training class.

Topics to be covered:

Introduction to evolving modality and characteristics of biological products
CMC regulations and guidelines applicable to therapeutic biologics
Quality by design and critical quality attributes (CQAs)
Overview of manufacturing process of biotherapeutic products
Phase-appropriate CMC regulatory submission for IND/IMPD
Raw material, source material and production cell banks
