While traditional small molecule drug products usually consist of pure chemical substances that are easily analyzed after manufacture, biologics such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are much more complex. Without thorough and comprehensive testing data a biologics license application (BLA) for the manufacture of a biopharmaceutical for commercial distribution will invariably be denied by regulatory bodies such as the US FDA. AbbVie’s five-step process results in a thorough understanding of the biologic and process control strategies to ensure drug safety, purity, and potency at the commercial scale, and since it is much harder to implement changes post- commercialization, continued process validation is employed.
