"Biopharmaceuticals, specifically antibody-based therapeutics, have revolutionized disease treatment. Throughout their lifecycle, these therapeutic proteins are exposed to several stress conditions, for example at interfaces, posing a risk to the drug product stability, safety and quality. Therapeutic protein adsorption at interfaces may lead to loss of active product and protein aggregation, with potential immunogenicity risks. Non-ionic surfactants are commonly added in formulations to mitigate protein-surface interactions. However, their effectiveness varies with the monoclonal antibody (mAb), and model surface material. Extrapolating findings from model surfaces to real medical surfaces is challenging due to diverse properties.
This study pioneers the evaluation of surfactant effectiveness in preventing mAb adsorption directly on medical surfaces at the medical bag/formulation interface, utilizing the ELIBAG device. The adsorption of different protein modalities, mAbs and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), using three surfactants (PS80, PS20, and P188), was examined across various medical surfaces, IV bags and manufacturing bags, and model surfaces. Our findings reveal that surfactants prevent mAb adsorption depending on the mAb modality, surfactant type and concentration, and surface material. This research underscores the importance of considering real medical surfaces in direct contact with formulations, offering insights for enhancing drug product development and ensuring material-protein compatibility in real world use."
