The definition of an oligonucleotide therapeutic has greatly expanded in the past few years with the introduction of novel technologies such as messenger RNAs and CRISPR/CAS9 systems. Furthermore, even the more established oligonucleotide modalities (antisense, siRNA, aptamers, microRNA, etc.) have seen a dramatic increase in the complexity of drug candidates being promoted into preclinical and clinical development. These oligonucleotides often have significant chemical modifications requiring specialty starting materials as well as technical innovations in process development, analytical chemistry, manufacturing and controls. This places extraordinary demands on both sponsor companies and contract service organizations to meet regulatory expectations while ensuring patient safety, often under aggressive timelines. This workshop will present case studies of CMC development of emerging technologies from the perspective of sponsors, CMO and Quality Assurance.

Workshop Leaders:Gary Musso, Ph.D., President, Musso and Associates LLCTrishul Shah, Associate Director Business Development, PolyPeptide Laboratories Inc.Peptides are being developed for a diverse set of clinical uses and have a variety of potencies. Because processes for manufacture of peptides use common platforms, peptides are often prepared in multi-use (non-dedicated) environments. Multi- use facilities for non-commercial manufacture present several risk assessment issues that are gaining increasing regulatory scrutiny. Key topics include dedicated vs multiuse, cleaning validation, occupational containment, facilities design, quality aspects of control strategies.
Topics to be Discussed:
• OEL Banding
• Regulatory Requirements for Cleaning Validation
• Multi-use facilities- Design and Support Considerations
• Cleaning Validation

Morimoto, Ph.D., Executive Director, Applied Translational Medicine, Celerion, Inc. Peptides offer notable advantages as drugs including their high biological activity, high specificity and low toxicity. However, peptides also present challenges in drug development. (1) short half-life because they are quickly broken down by proteolytic enzymes; (2) inadequate drug-like pharmaceutical properties such as solubility and chemical and physical stability (3) the polar, chemical nature of peptides prevent them from getting past physiological barriers or membranes, and (4) need to be parenterally delivered (via injection) because oral administration would lead to their degradation in the digestive tract. This workshop will focus on cutting-edge, novel technologies to optimize peptides as therapeutics. Case studies will illustrate the use of these platform technologies to enhance the pharmaceutic properties of peptides. Topics to be Discussed:
• Stabilizing Peptide Backbone • Half-life Extension Technologies • Creative Formulation Approaches
• Strategies to Improve Peptide Delivery • Other Approaches to Improve Peptide Properties

Clinical Development of Eteplirsen for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)DMD is a rare, X-linked disease that results in progressive muscle loss and premature death. DMD is primarily caused by whole exon deletions in the dystrophin gene resulting in an out-of-frame shift of the dystrophin mRNA reading frame that prevents production of functional dystrophin protein. PMO eteplirsen was recently granted accelerated approval for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping. The approval and lessons learned will be discussed along with next-generation PMOs designed to improve upon delivery and efficacy.

Synthesis of DNA/RNA on Chips and Biochemical/Biological Activity of New Morpholino DNAsWe have synthesized imidoamidate DNA having two equivalent nitrogen groups at the internucleotide, nonbonding positions and a large number of morpholino/thiomorpholino DNAs. These analogues were tested for biological activity. In collaboration with Agilent Technologies, we have developed synthesis methods for preparing DNA/RNA containing up to 300 nucleotides per segment. Applications include biological research on genomes, RNA for CRISPR/Cas9 applications, and data storage. The lecture will focus on these research areas.

Site Selective Antibody Drug Conjugates Enabled by Cysteine Arylation and Native ConjugationHere we report a robust bioconjugation method using cysteine arylation. This chemistry enables site-specific conjugation at cysteine residues within peptides, proteins, and antibodies. Our two developed approaches use either perfluoroaryl-cysteine SNAr chemistry or organometallic palladium reagents. This work led to the discovery of a self-labeling four-residue sequence that enables regioselective conjugation at only one cysteine residue within an intact antibody containing natural amino acids. Recently, we discovered a new approach for the native conjugation of complex natural products such as vancomycin onto peptides and proteins without the introduction of linkers or chemical handles.

Advancing Greener Peptide and Oligonucleotide Synthesis Peptide and Oligonucleotide products are an area of significant growth within the biopharma industry. For example, there are approximately 140 peptide based active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) in clinical trials and more than 400 in pre-clinical development. However, the current state of the art in peptide and oligonucleotide syntheses utilize primarily legacy technologies, with little focus on green chemistry and engineering. Waste generated from current peptide and oligonucleotide processes ranges from 3,000-15,000 kg/kg API (10-50 mer products) with multiple usages of highly hazardous reagents and solvents. Contributing to the poor environmental profile is the pervasive and extensive use of chromatography to produce peptide and oligonucleotide products with required quality attributes. In 2016, the ACS Pharmaceutical Roundtable identified the need for greener syntheses for peptide and oligonucleotide products as a key research priority. This presentation will describe the newly formed ACS Pharmaceutical Roundtable Greener Peptide, Oligonucleotide and ADC’s project team initial activities in these important areas.

SPINRAZA: The Road to Approval Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a serious, debilitating, and life-threatening disease characterized by degeneration of the motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, resulting in atrophy of the voluntary muscles of the limbs and trunk. There was no treatment for this disease until SPINRAZA was approved late last year by the FDA. The road to SPINRAZA's approval including high level clinical results and CMC strategy will be discussed.
