altered to obtain maximum benefit from a combination drug therapy. Lessons from such clinical trials will aid in rapid and informed decision-making and modulating the course of the therapy to serve the benefit of the patient.
Multiple challenges need to be overcome to design better immunotherapy and can benefit from technological advances as well as prioritization. The focus should be on bet­ter understanding, evaluating, and interpreting the data from phase I clinical trials so that challenges of immunotherapy optimizations could be addressed early. This exercise should be more rigorous with combination studies where the response could be difficult to interpret and distinct conclusions may not be possible. Besides, in combination ther­apies, the immunotherapy arm is highly dependent on the target expression and the immune makes up of the patient and so at times, an overwhelming response could be interpreted as a combination benefit. A quick look at the challenges with the develop­ment of effective immunotherapy relays that they are highly interdependent where advancement in one can greatly propel significant advancement with the other. A preclinical animal model that reflects the clinical features of the disease will help in improved predictive power, better identification and validation of biomarkers, and organ-specific immune response. Appropriate diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic bio­marker identification will facilitate a better understanding of the effects of endogenous vs synthetic immunity and how these two independent immune responses can be combined to obtain an improved response. All the clinical trials and preclinical research exploiting endogenous or synthetic immunity have focused on one of the two approaches with lim­ited overlap and bridging this gap could prove disruptive in cancer immunotherapy. The field of cancer immunotherapy is highly interdisciplinary and requires a deep understand­ing of biology, immunology, data/statistical analysis, pharmaceutical, and clinical devel­opment and therefore a collaborative initiative across academic, government, and industry partners is essential. A concerted and focused effort from these partnerships would lead to significant advancement in the field.
3. Drug development considerations for clinical translation
Clinical translation of cancer immunotherapy involves the development of small molecules (adjuvants) and biologics, each bringing a different set of challenges with it and therefore altered the course of development. However, the fundamental principles of drug development still remain the same with either type of drugs and require the same rigor and caution. Small molecules form a small subset of this discussion and the major focus will be on the development of an immunotherapeutic drugs that is biological in nature such as proteins, gene therapy, or cell therapy. Immunotherapies of such catego­ries can be divided broadly into three types: (1) active immunotherapy (vaccines), (2) adoptive immunotherapy (transfusion of cells manipulated ex-vivo) and (3) passive immu- notherapy (antibodies, receptor/ligand). Since these therapies augment immune response
through different mechanisms, they are bound to show nonspecific toxicity including auto-

immunity. Besides, the development of biologics as a therapeutic drug requires careful characterization and monitoring to ensure the quality of the product. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the regulatory body in the United States that is responsible for monitoring the development, testing, and approval of all drugs and biologics. The follow­ing sections will summarize FDA’s approach to ensure the safety and efficacy of cancer immunotherapies and focus on crucial considerations at different stages of drug develop­ment to ascertain successful clinical translation of a preclinical candidate.
3.1 Early-phase considerations
Early on in the preclinical drug development process, one of the most important consid­erations should be the strategies and plans to manufacture the drug at a scale that supports the required dose during clinical trials and subsequently as a marketed drug to meet the demand. FDA has a very strict guideline for the characterization of drug substances and drug products at different stages of product development. There are several Code of Fed­eral Regulations (CFR) that govern various aspects of the development of the biological drug product, which will be referred to in the following section, and readers are encour­aged to read them independently for detailed understanding. At the early stage of devel­opment, the product should be characterized to ensure quality as guided by its preidentified critical quality attributes (CQA). “CQA is defined as a physical, chemical, bio-
logical or microbiological property or characteristic that should be within an appropriate limit, range or distribution to ensure desired product quality.” Product characterization can be an arduous task
for complex biological molecules used in cancer immunotherapy due to the inherent var­iability of biological products and that the early phase of drug development does not require an extensive characterization of contribution from product components. Drug characterization is dependent on the stage of clinical development where for phase I, a preliminary characterization with identified specification should be performed but as the product moves up in the clinical progress, the quality target product profile specifi­cation becomes more defined and stringent. As the product reaches clinical-stage to sup­port marketing approval (phase 3), the product characterization methods and processes should be finalized, product quality parameters should be well defined with product acceptance criteria in place and lot release standards built upon historical clinical batches. Biological product characterization methods are required to ensure the quality based on identity, purity, safety, and potency.

3.1.1 Identity
Identity is the most important property of any biological product and it should be con­firmed by validated assays to be labeled and distinguished from any other product (21 CFR 610.14). Assays used for confirming the identity should be specific to the product and indicate its nature/composition. The type of assay will depend on the nature of the
484 Amit Singh
drug, the assay development for a noncellular immunotherapy drug will be entirely dif­ferent from those developed for cellular products. Some of the popular assay approaches for cellular products include surface biomarkers/antigen markers mapping, genetic expression, polymorphisms, lipid composition, secreted molecule analysis, or peptide sequencing. Similarly, in the case of tumor antigen as a vaccine, often a peptide or protein that serves as cancer-specific antigen to help develop an immune response against TAAs is often conjugated with a carrier immunogenic protein (immunoconjugate) or developed integrated as a fusion protein. Identity of such products will require understanding its primary, secondary, and tertiary structure, protein size, and postsynthesis modifications. All these analyses should also accompany an upper and lower acceptance limit for all iden­tity assays based on rigorous, data-driven identity-function relationships.
3.1.2 Purity
Purity is defined as the relative freedom from extraneous matter in the finished product whether or not harmful to the recipient or deleterious to the product (21 CFR 610.13). Conceptually, purity
is the absence of impurity and is therefore not measured directly; the measurement of impurities is used to define the measure of drug purity. There are two approaches to mea­sure purity; the absolute approach where the total amount of the impurities is determined without detailed knowledge of those impurities or in chromatographic approach includes detection and determination of the nature of the impurity. Biological products such as cells or proteins purity would involve knowledge about unintended cell populations, residual proteins, peptides, and other materials used during the manufacturing process including growth factors, media components, and metabolic by-products. All the impu­rities should be characterized for their nature and their quantity and an acceptance cri­terion should be defined, guided by the batch-to-batch variability in the manufacturing process.
Testing for pyrogenic/endotoxin content is a major aspect in establishing the purity of the drug product and there are very strict guidelines for permissible limits based on the route of administration and exposure in the recipient (21 CFR 610.13b). The concern of endotoxin contamination levels is even more severe in the case where the biological product is obtained using bacteria as manufacturing biofactories. The endotoxin levels can be monitored at different steps of manufacturing to identify the source but from a regulatory standpoint, the endotoxin level should be analyzed and reported from the final product. The endotoxin acceptance level for a parenteral drug is at 5 EU/kg body weight/h or below while for intrathecal administration the limit is set to 0.2 EU/kg body weight/dose per FDAs recommendation.
3.1.3 Viability
This is a measurement that is specific to cellular therapies where a minimum viability limit has to be established as a release criterion. Intravenous injections require a cell
viability level of at least 70% per FDA guidance and in c ases that the requirement cannot

be met, data from different production batches should be collated, analyzed and rec­ommendations for the appropriate levels should be submitted with evidence. In such cases, the acceptance criteria for the product should be rolled out with information about the composition, proof of a total number of viable cells, all phenotypically dif­ferent subcellular populatio ns, and documentation evidence of its safety at the proposed cell number/dose.
3.1.4 Potency
Potency is defined as the specific ability or capacity of the product, as indicated by appropriate laboratory tests or by adequately controlled clinical data obtained through the administration of the product in the manner intended, to effect a given result (21 CFR 600.3). Assays to test
the potency of cellular and gene therapy products has been recommended in a guidance document by FDA and allows to ensure the quality of the drug product that is going to be administered at different stages of clinical trial and as commercialized drug postapproval. Potency assays are chosen from a battery of characterization assays that are developed through a very thorough and rigorous analysis of the intermediates at different stages of manufacturing. The characterization could involve molecular, biochemical, immuno­logical, phenotypic, physical, chemical, or biological properties and understand the effect of these properties on the pharmaceutical activity of the drug product. An ideal potency assay(s) should be designed for a product with the aim to connect the biological effect of the drug to the proposed mechanism of action. Biological drug product development is fairly complex and therefore FDA acknowledges that the potency test may evolve during the course of process development and that its implementation may be incremental through different stages of development.
One of the biggest challenges that drug developers face is to identify suitable assays that will be indicative of the potency of a biological drug product. The potency of cellular therapy for example may not be dependent on one property or characteristic of the cell or the potency cannot be attributed to one type of cell in a mixed cell population. It is often advised to develop multiple characterization assays early on in the developmental path so that as the understanding about the drug characteristic/efficacy grows, most indicative assays from the pool could be selected to serve as potency assays for that product. In gen­eral, the potency of a drug is established through carefully designed and controlled studies using a quality drug product with defined characteristics and correlated it with the attri­butes that define the “quality” of the product. Once a drug sponsor is able to establish attribute(s) of the drug product that affects the efficacy, assays that measure that attribute(s) can be adopted as potency assays. It is also highly recommended to open a dia­logue with the FDA early in the course of drug development to be advised and develop a framework to design, evaluate and validate potency assays.

3.2 Late-phase considerations
The majority of late-phase drug development considerations come from large-scale drug manufacturing challenges where the drug product is produced in large quantities to meet the demands of large-sized, multisite phase 3 clinical trials. It is important to emphasize that any changes to the drug production process and testing are easy to implement and justify before the start of phase 3. Any changes made to the drug product after the com­pletion of phase 3 would require additional justification and studies to ascertain the effi­cacy and safety to bridge the gap between the product used for clinical studies and that going to be marketed. A change in the manufacturing facility, equipment or process is all counted as a significant change and may warrant additional studies to ensure that the change did not change the identity, purity, safety, and potency profile. Addressing change in facility or equipment may not have a significant impact on the product quality but a change in process may lead to change in impurity profile which can have downstream effects such as toxicity or poor efficacy. It is therefore highly recommended to consult with FDA prior to any significant change in the process to discuss the merits of the change and the potential downstream implication of the changes. The following section will dis­cuss some key considerations to factor in during early-stage development and follow up during late-stage to ensure a smooth regulatory approval of drug products.
3.2.1 Controlling product variability
The most significant challenge with biological drug product development is to control the variability in the product quality as a function of stages of development and from batch-to-batch during the manufacturing process. Biological materials have a high inher­ent variability quotient which could be a function of the biological processes inside the host that they are produced in (specifically in the case of proteins) as well as the process that is used for their production. The same protein produced in a bacterial expression system and mammalian expression system may have the same aminoacid sequence, but their posttranslational modification (glycosylation, deamidation, methylation, phos­phorylation, or acetylation) may be distinct and may influence their safety and efficacy profile as drugs. A detailed discussion on these aspects has been reviewed elsewhere and is highly recommended [32]. However, it is pertinent that as the drug is developed through preclinical to clinical stages, factors that influence the variability of the drug are identified and controlled in order to control the overall variability of the product.
3.2.2 Controlling quality of raw materials
The quality of the product can be heavily influenced by the quality of the starting mate­rials and reagents that are being used. It is advised that early on in the development pro­cess, vendors and their materials/reagent qualification (and relevant assays to implement it) are built into the quality assurance and quality control program. This is important for
two key reasons; first, if one vendor is unable to supply the starting materials/reagents,
Данная книга находится в списке для перевода на русский язык сайта https://meduniver.com/
there are backups to ensure the continuation of the process and second, it helps under­stand the dependence of the product quality on the quality of the starting material as well as the robustness of the drug production process with subtle variations. The optimal approach would be to characterize the starting material with an internally developed assay (and cross-reference with the certificate of analysis provided by the vendor) and docu­ment subtle variations in the quality from the vendor to vendor; run a critical comparative assessment of the influence of materials from two different vendors on the quality of the drug product and finally control the process to reduce the variability introduced by the material.
3.2.3 Controlling assay and reference material quality
The quality of a product is as good as the analytical methods that are used to characterize the product and assess its quality when compared to reference material. It is therefore extremely critical that the assays developed are validate d with suitable reference stan­dards to ascertain their sensitivity, accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability. United States Pharmacopeia (USP) defines reference standard as “highly characterized specimens of
drug substances, excipients, reportable impurities, degradation products, compendial reagents , and performance calibrat ors”. FDA works closely with various other local and international
agencies such as the American Society of Testing and Materia ls (ASTM), American Type Cell Collection (ATCC), and International Co nference on Har monizat ion (ICH) to develop reference standards and materials. However, with novel drug prod­ucts, such reference materials may not be available to compare the product quality with and optimize as needed. In such cases, the reference material for a drug produ ct can be produced in-house and could be a product from early lots tha t has been ex hausti vely characterized by validat ed analytical methods. The quality of reference material is abso­lutely critical for establishing the identity, purity, safety, and potency of product from a new batch. This problem is more complex with biological reference materials which can be susceptible t o their storage conditions and handling. It is therefore important to thoroughly characterize the reference material periodically and smaller quantities of a product, that matches with that of the original reference material on quality attributes, should be saved over the course of product development and commercialization for continued monitoring.

4. Conclusion
Developing immunotherapeutic products is a highly challenging task that has gained increased momentum in the past 10 years with breakthrough clinical results. Cel­lular therapy, cancer vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins, and
488 Amit Singh
antibody-drug conjugates are generally categorized under the umbrella of immunother­apy and are quickly becoming the standard option for the treatment of cancer. There are significant challenges that still need to be addressed but the great advancement that has been made especially in the past 5 years should be celebrated. Importantly, the regulatory agencies have realized and acknowledged the developmental and regulatory challenges in bringing these complex products to the market and are working aggressively to stream­line and harmonize the process. FDA has been organizing workshops with international regulatory agencies, published guidance documents to integrate the requirements for such products, and formed advisory committees to discuss and address the scientific chal­lenges and issues associated with the development of immunotherapeutic products. The majority of the approved cancer immunotherapies have shown benefits in a smaller subset of the larger patient population, primarily due to the complex underlying biological pro­cesses that result in the anticancer activity. However, as our understanding of cancer biol­ogy and its interaction with the human immune system grows, the outreach and benefits of immunotherapy will also broaden within the patient populations.
