4.

Stability

 

  4.1.

OCS Lung Solution stability and determination of product shelf life was demonstrated through enrollment of the OCS Lung Solution in stability studies of up to [***]. Accelerated stability conditions were applied to the Technical batch with sample withdrawals scheduled throughout a [***] period. Real-time and accelerated stability conditions were applied to a minimum of [***] Stability batches with sample withdrawals scheduled throughout the enrollment period. The shelf life of existing clinical batches may be updated periodically based on the most current aging data available.

  4.1.1.

Technical Batch: Accelerated stability was assessed at [***] for [***]. The planned time points for the batch were [***], [***], [***], and [***] months. Solution stability was demonstrated under the planned test conditions to [***] months.

  4.1.2.

Stability Batches: Real-time stability was assessed at [***] for [***]. The planned time points for the batches were [***], [***], [***], [***], [***], [***] and [***] months. In addition, (2) two of the batches were assessed at [***] months. Solution stability was demonstrated under the planned test conditions to [***] months.

  4.1.3.

Stability Batches: Accelerated stability was assessed at [***] for [***] months. The planned time points for the stability batches were 0, 3 and 6 months. In addition, (2) of the batches were assessed at [***] month. Solution stability was demonstrated under the planned test conditions to [***] months.

  4.2.

Supplemental stability data may be generated from additional full-scale batches. Sampling or withdrawal time points may vary based on the data required for the study (i.e. early withdrawal time points may be omitted).

 

5.

Sterility

  5.1.

OCS Lung Solution sterility is assessed for lot release (Time 0) and at the final time point of the stability study at [***].

  5.2.

A sterilization cycle has been validated for the OCS Lung Solution.

  5.3.

The sterilization cycle is designed to achieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of at least [***].

  5.4.

Pyrogenicity will be measured as a function of lot release using the [***] Test. The test will also be performed at the final time point of the stability study under real-time conditions ([***]).

1 The OCS Lung Solution is a component of a system (the Organ Care System) and is regulated as a medical device, not a pharmaceutical. It is not administered to a patient, and does not have contact with either the donor or the recipient during a lung transplant. Nonetheless, the ICH standards for testing new drugs provide well-recognized methods for evaluating solution stability and consequently will be relied upon to demonstrate that the device meets its performance specifications.
