About Baxter BioPharma Solutions 2
• The expense of the lyophilization process is minor compared to the overall cost
of the product
• Ease of use is not a significant issue
• Use of a lyophilized formulation reduces overall risk of failure during the
development process

The Effect of pH on the Percent HMW for ADC as The Effect of pH on the Percent Main Peak for ADC as
Determined by SEC When Stored at 40ºC for 2 Weeks. Determined by iCE When Stored at 40ºC for 2 Weeks.
The Effect of Sorbitol and PS80 at pH 6.0 on the Percent The Effect of Sorbitol and PS80 at pH 6.0 on the Percent
HMW for ADC as Determined by SEC When Stored at 40ºC Main Peak for ADC as Determined by SEC When Stored at
for 2 Weeks. 40ºC for 2 Weeks.
In agitation, freeze-thaw and accelerated stability studies, the addition of polysorbate 80
and sorbitol had no effect. The ADC appeared to be more stable at pH of 6 in SEC and
iCE testing.

Protection During the Freezing and Drying
Step 19
Nonreducing disaccharides are used to stabilize the ADC during the freezing
and drying process.
Common choices are sucrose or trehalose
Protection during freezing is dependent on the bulk concentration of the sugar and
can require up to 5% wt/vol
Protection during drying depends on the mass ratio between the sugar and the
protein, requiring ratios of sugar to protein of 1:1 or greater.
Based on early stability results, the customer made a decision to pursue a lyophilized
formulation.

Bulking Agents 21
Lyophilized samples were stored at 50ºC for 4 weeks, and 25ºC and 40ºC for 2
months. Samples were tested by SEC, iCE, DLS, and UV.

By DSC the Tg’ was between -32ºC and -34ºC Freeze Drying of Formulation 2 at -32ºC
Showing Collapse
The Tg’ and Tc of -32ºC provides a conservative upper limit of product temperature
during primary drying. Edge of failure studies can reduce this upper limit.
