Glycosylation Analysis for Biopharmaceuticals Workshop

USP’s Workshop on Glycosylation Analysis for Biopharmaceuticals will be a forum for manufacturers, academia and regulators to discuss aspects of protein glycosylation and its impact on product quality. The workshop will focus on the role of glycosylation in therapeutic proteins, current analytical methods and next-generation technologies for glycosylation measurements, and assessing product comparability from the perspective of regulatory authorities and pharmacopeias.

Agenda

Poster Topics

  • New Japanese Pharmacopoeia General Test and General Information for Glycosylation Analysis of Glycoprotein
  • Advanced analytical technologies for N-Glycan profiling: Assessment of InstantABTM AssayMap® automation and GlycoworksTM Rapifluor-MSTM
  • Rapid Level-3 Characterization of Glycoprotein Therapeutics by CESI-MS
  • Click here for a full list poster presentations

Presentation Topics

  • How glycosylation affects bioassay, pharmacokinetics, safety, clearance and immunogenicity
  • Regulatory views on approval, comparability, legacy products and glycosylated biosimilars
  • Current analytical technologies for oligosaccharide and monosaccharide mixtures
  • Next-generation methods for analysis – such as O-link oligosaccharide analysis and glycoproteomics
  •  Emerging technologies – such as in vitro glycosylation and use of non-mammalian cells
  • Standards procedures, material reference standards and pharmacopeial views on glycosylation
  • Glycosylation control during post-approval changes—cell line considerations and cell culture processes

Objectives

  • Address “critical features” of glycosylation  and the relationship to pharmacological properties
  • Broaden  understanding of glycan analysis approaches
  • Examine commonly-used methods for glycosylation analysis, challenges and emerging technologies
  • Review latest developments for establishing quality standards related to glycosylated products
  • Highlight regulatory expectations and approaches
