Nitrosamine Exchange – a USP’s knowledge community for all-things Nitrosamine
Tuesday, May 24, 2022
Nitrosamine Exchange – a USP’s knowledge community for all-things Nitrosamine T he Nitrosamine impurities crisis prompted regulators around the world to increase their scrutiny of drug manufacturing processes even further. In the future, this greater scrutiny may lead to the discovery of nitrosamine impurities in other medicines. For this reason, manufacturers need to understand which medicines are likely to form nitrosamines, how and at what levels nitrosamine impurities are forming, and how to control nitrosamines. In the following seminar we will explore how USP responded to the nitrosamine impurities crisis not only with a proposed general chapter on nitrosamine impurities but also non-compendial resources and tools that provides a risk assessment strategy, methods for detecting and measuring nitrosamine impurities. In that effort, USP built a knowledge community dedicated to All-things Nitrosamines.   Register Here: Nitrosamine Exchange – a USP’s knowledge community for all-things Nitrosamine  -and- Set a reminder in the community by clicking YES I will attend, or add to your   calendar !  **By using the RSVP to set a reminder you can join the conversation around the event, or receive updates in the community.   Naiffer Romero has more than 18+ years of pharmaceutical industry experience. In his 10 years tenure with USP, he has served several roles: Lead scientist in performance testing compendial reference standards development, Manager in charge of LATAM Compendial engagement and education with stakeholders and national regulatory bodies. Romero is also a certified USP Education instructor. Most recently, he joined USP’s Scientific Affairs performance cell where he leads scientific outreach and engagement for LATAM & US region on key national health priority topics. His combined pharmaceutical expertise includes analytical development, salt and polymorph selection, development of dissolution methods, IVIVC modeling, and impurity analytical strategy. Romero also served as member of USP’s Nitrosamine Steering Committee and community host to ‘Nitrosamine Exchange’, a knowledge community in all-things nitrosamine. Naiffer also liaises technical discussions on pharmacopeial collaboration including International meeting of World Pharmacopeias (part of WHO).

Toward A Next-Generation MAM: An Evaluation of the Orbitrap Exploris MX Mass Detector Webinar
Wednesday, May 25, 2022
  In the development of biotherapeutics, a thorough understanding of a molecule’s product quality attributes (PQAs), and their effect on various structure-function relationships and long-term stability, is essential for ensuring the safety and efficacy of the product. At present, numerous routine chromatographic and electrophoretic assays are used to characterize and monitor individual PQAs. However, execution of multiple routine methods for batch release, stability time-points, and process/formulation development support becomes time and resource intensive, and often provides an indirect measure of biologically relevant PQAs. Introduced in 2015, the multi-attribute method (MAM), based on LC-MS peptide mapping and automation principles, provides simultaneous and site-specific detection, identification, quantitation, and quality control (monitoring) of PQAs.   A dedicated Pfizer team has been regularly employing MAM on an in-house MAM platform to support biotherapeutic process and product development. In parallel, this team has continually explored and implemented improvements in the Pfizer MAM platform, including sample preparation and data processing automation, to move toward the next generation of MAM. Recently, a pre-commercial demo model of the new Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Exploris MX mass detector was evaluated in-house by the Pfizer MAM team. Here, the results of the evaluation and an assessment of the Orbitrap Exploris MX mass detector’s suitability as a next generation MAM instrument are presented.   Learn: Pfizer MAM platform milestones for characterization and routine monitoring Automation of sample handling and data processing and reporting Evaluation and optimization of the Orbitrap Exploris MX mass detector for MAM REGISTER HERE
