Abstract
In the competitive biopharmaceutical industry, rapid cell culture process development is crucial for establishing a high-yield bioprocess. Traditional clone selection and process optimization methods are laborious and time-consuming due to multiple iterative rounds. To enhance efficiency, real-time metabolite monitoring and parameter control are vital. We propose an intelligent process development (IPD) platform utilizing Raman spectroscopy-based process analytical technology (PAT) for real-time monitoring and feedback control. The IPD platform automates optimization, incorporating a cell-specific growth rate (μ)-based temperature downshifting strategy and a dynamic feeding approach. Compared to traditional fed-batch (TFB), the IPD strategy increased the clone's titer by 44% (1490 vs. 1034 mg/L). To meet large-scale manufacturing demands, we adapted the Raman-based IPD process into a TFB process with comparable titer, compatible with facilities lacking PAT or automation. This approach was validated with an alternative clone, demonstrating the IPD's ability to enhance productivity through a single automated round, accelerating development.
在竞争激烈的生物制药行业中,快速的细胞培养工艺开发是建立高产生物工艺的关键。传统的克隆选择和工艺优化方法由于需要多次迭代,费时费力。为了提高效率,实时代谢物监测和参数控制至关重要。我们提出了一个智能过程开发(IPD)平台,利用基于拉曼光谱的过程分析技术(PAT)进行实时监测和反馈控制。IPD平台采用基于细胞特异性生长速率(μ)的温度降速策略和动态进料方法进行自动化优化。与传统的分批补料(TFB)相比,IPD策略使克隆滴度提高了44% (1490 vs 1034 mg/L)。为了满足大规模生产需求,我们将基于拉曼的IPD工艺调整为具有相当滴度的TFB工艺,与缺乏PAT或自动化的设施兼容。该方法通过另一种克隆进行了验证,证明了IPD通过单次自动化循环提高生产率的能力,从而加速了开发。
