Key variables evaluated in the assessment included virus type, resin type, number of reuse cycles, and virus challenge. In this retrospective analysis of viral clearance data on naïve versus cycled resin, powered by the availability of a decade’s worth of accumulated industry data, clearance capability was not negatively impacted by resin cycling. This finding is consistent with publications showing that surrogates for viral clearance capabilities could be employed in lieu of testing the viral clearance of cycled resins for protein A and anion exchange chromatography. The rigorous analysis of the retrospective data supports the view that viral clearance studies for cycled resins are not necessary provided that appropriate cleaning methods are applied during repeated use of the chromatography columns.LAY ABSTRACT: The manufacturing processes for biopharmaceutical products often include reusable chromatographic resins that remove process- and product-related impurities as well as potential contaminating viruses. Typically, chromatography resin is “cycled” through repeated steps of resin conditioning, product purification, and resin cleaning. The cycling approach has been evaluated in both small- and full-scale studies that show the performance parameters are maintained. The ability to remove virus is demonstrated separately in a focused small-scale virus-spiking study that is resource-intensive and costly. This paper is a retrospective review of industry data comparing virus removal by naïve and repeatedly cycled resins that summarizes the viral clearance impact of re-using protein A and anion exchange chromatography resins. The key variables evaluated in the assessment included virus type, resin type, number of cycles, and virus challenge. In this retrospective analysis, it was found that the viral clearance capability is not negatively impacted by resin cycling. This finding is consistent with other publications and supports the view that viral clearance studies for cycled resins are not necessary if appropriate cleaning methods are applied during the repeated use of the chromatography columns.Abbreviations: AAV-2, Adeno-associated virus; A-MuLV, Amphotropic murine leukemia virus; AEX, Anion-exchange chromatography; B/E, Bind and elute; BVDV, Bovine viral diarrhea virus; C.P.G., Controlled pore glass; DEAE, Diethylaminoethanol; EMCV, Encephalomyocarditis virus; FT, Flow through; HAV, Hepatitis A virus; HSV-1, Herpes simplex virus type 1; LOD, Limit of detection; LOQ, Limit of quantification; LRF, Log10 reduction factor; mAb, Monoclonal antibody; MVM, Minute virus of mice; NaOH, Sodium hydroxide; PA, Protein A; PPV, Porcine parvovirus; QA, Quaternary amine; QP, Quaternized polyethyleneimine; qPCR, Quantitative polymerase chain reaction; Reo3, Reovirus type 3; SuHV-1, Suid herpesvirus; SV40, Simian virus 40; X-MuLV, Xenotropic murine leukemia virus ER -
