1 WHITE PAPER FACILITY FOCUS: Next Generation Aseptic Manufacturing: An Eye-Opening Peek into the Future By: Hite Baker August 2017

2 Introduction This Facility Focus Survey Report explores how to design sterile manufacturing facilities to make the best use of available modern technologies that will ensure products of the highest quality are consistently manufactured, over an extended life cycle, with robust regulatory compliance. Advancements in technology and better aseptic manufacturing practices have dominated the facility-design landscape in recent years. These include: Reliable Supply/ FDA metrics Modernization/ Product Safety Aging Facilities Barrier Technology & Automation No Conventional Aseptic Processing Closed System Processing Small Batch/ Combi Lines RTU Components, Trays & Tubs 6 - Sigma Single Use Disposable Revolution Robotics Operational Excellence Risk Based Design Challenges at FDA, EU, ROW QbD/ QRM PAT Harmonization These advancing trends can be complicated, but the key to making sense of the future of sterile manufacturing is to have a solid starting point, which is a commitment to Advanced Aseptic Processing to: Protect product for the sake of the patient, Separate humans from critical zones using physical or dynamic air barriers, Automate: reduce human error, reduce or eliminate interventions, Isolators / RABS, Closed systems, Single-Use-Disposables. If you own a legacy sterile manufacturing facility, then upgrade/modernize it using Advanced Aseptic Technology. If you are building a new sterile manufacturing facility, then incorporate Advanced Aseptic Processing. Copyright DME Alliance Inc.

3 In this Facility Focus survey report, you ll learn about the trends, technologies, and tactics that leading sterile manufacturers are using to enhance manufacturing reliability, efficiency, and flexibility as well as the benefits, challenges, and risks involved in embracing Advanced Aseptic Technology. About the Facility Focus Survey DME invited engineers, manufacturers, and other life sciences professionals to participate in their second annual Facility Focus Aseptic Manufacturing survey to share their views on the latest trends and technologies affecting sterile manufacturing. The survey consisted of various questions covering areas of cgmp manufacturing, modernization, biggest challenges, new technologies and which new technologies are most valuable, new equipment trends, future facilities, new filling machines and which features on the new fillers are most important and barriers to single use technology. Two niche topics were explored, including the use of mass spectrometry to detect lyo silicone oil leaks and the use of ebeam decontamination for ready-to-use tubs/ trays of primary containers.

6 cgmp Manufacturing What are your plans to modernize your sterile facilities currently using legacy cleanrooms & equipment? 56% (23% + 21% + 12%) are not proactively planning to modernize their legacy facilities. Note that 33% (21% + 12%) will modernize only if metrics indicate a problem or forced by FDA.

12 Mass Spectrometer of Silicone Oil Leaks The risks/ consequences of silicone-oil leaks from shelves or hoses inside a freeze dryer are sufficient to justify installing mass spectrometers to monitor and alarm each freeze dryer to preemptively detect silicone oil leaks?

16 Are Industry s Legacy Sterile Manufacturing Facilities Evolving Out of Gap #1 Fast Enough? This is a rhetorical question. There are an estimated 1000 to 2000 legacy Sterile facilities in the world that, without upgrading and modernization (or replacement), have an expanding gap between baseline GMPs (minimum legal requirements) and cgmps (current good practices). Is industry upgrading and modernizing fast enough to evolve out of Gap #1? Figure 13 Are Legacy Sterile Facilities being Upgraded Fast Enough? Copyright DME Alliance Inc.

19 New Challenges Require a Different Mindset Modernizing your plant is not only a smart investment, it may very well be a mandatory one. A facility that may have been top-of-the-line just a couple decades ago might not even be compliant by today s regulatory standards. This requires a cgmp-savvy project team both owner stakeholders and suppliers (e.g. architects, engineers, builders) that understand the issues they face, and can generate solutions that are efficient and compliant. Important Considerations for the Project Team The project team needs to: Understand the manufacturing process and how it integrates with the facility Have project managers with capital project experience renovating legacy processes and facilities Have engineers with subject matter expertise in designing GMP-classified space and critical utilities (particularly clean utilities such as CIP, clean steam, compendial water systems, etc.) In many ways, legacy renovation projects are more difficult than greenfield designs of new facilities. They typically involve: Poorly-documented facilities and manufacturing processes Construction adjacent to ongoing GMP operations Limited construction and commissioning schedule windows This requires a team that can anticipate problems and turn over stones where issues may arise that could derail the project at a later phase. It s important to plan, but also to be flexible in case the design criteria shifts in response to new requirements or information discovered during the initial site survey and conceptual design process. Team members need to be agile to respond quickly to unanticipated issues that may crop up during the project. Copyright DME Alliance Inc.
