The quest for down scale representativeness: how to exploit CFD to design a shear study for vaccines.
Pharmaceutical Development and Technology 2024 March 19
In this work we exploit Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to evaluate Stirred Tank Reactor (STR) Process Engineer Parameters (PEP) and design a scale down system (SDS) to be representative of the formulation and filling process steps for an Aluminum adjuvanted vaccine Drug Product (DP). To study the shear history in the SDS we used the concept of number of passages, combined with an appropriate stirring speed down scale strategy comprising of either i) Tip speed equivalence, widely used as scale-up criterion for shear-sensitive product, or ii) Rotating shear, a shear metric introduced by Metz and Otto in 1957 but never used as scaling criterion. The outcome of the CFD simulations shows that the tip equivalence generates a worst case SDS in terms of shear, whereas the rotating shear scaling approach could be used to design more representative SDS. We monitored the trend over time for "In Vitro Relative Potency" as DP Critical Quality Attribute for both scaling approaches, which highlighted the crucial role of choosing the appropriate scaling down approach to be representative of the manufacturing scale during process characterization studies.
