Abstract

A compact containment system comprises a mixing apparatus, a drying apparatus and a discharge apparatus. The mixing apparatus, which may be used to produce a slurry or solution mixture of solvent and dry powder during drug processing, comprises a dual compartment isolator for safely removing the dry powder from a dry powder container, a mixing vessel, and a negative cascading pressure controller. The drying apparatus comprises a drying unit, such as a thin film evaporator. The discharge apparatus comprises a discharge chute, a vacuum supply control valve, a product inlet valve, a gas control valve, a collection control valve and one or more collection containers. The discharge chute comprises a substantially airtight internal chamber, a housing substantially surrounding the airtight internal chamber, a vacuum supply inlet that fluidly connects the airtight internal chamber of the discharge chute to a vacuum source, a solids inlet that fluidly connects the internal chamber to a product reservoir of the dryer, a gas inlet that fluidly connects the airtight internal chamber to a gas source, and a solids outlet that fluidly connects the airtight internal chamber to a collection container. The inlets and outlets are opened and closed by operation of flow control valves connected to those inlets and outlets in order to remove or admit gas to the discharge chute to effectively depressurize and re-pressurize the discharge chute, while moving dried pharmaceutical product out of the dryer and through the discharge chute. A flow diverter assembly directs "on-spec" material to a primary collection container and "off-spec" material to an auxiliary or "waste" collection container.

Abstract

A user (e.g., a CMC scientist) identifies a change in CMC data for a regulated product, service, or system provided by an organization. A change assessment engine provides a recommendation for regulatory impact reporting. The recommendation may include a rationale and supporting evidence. The recommendation may identify the markets where the product, service, or system is registered, an indication of potential reportability in that market, specific health authority regulations that apply, and direct linkages into an internal regulatory knowledge repository of the organization. The change assessment engine may drive a user interface that guides users through the process in a consistent and repeatable manner.

Abstract

An immunogenic neoantigen peptide can be identified by receiving data characterizing a neoantigen peptide from a subject. Thereafter, a naturally processed (NP) antigen predictor (NP-predictor) score can be generated using a machine learning model trained using data derived from mass spectrometry of isolated peptides eluted from at least one major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule. A T-epitope predictor score can be generated independently using a second machine learning model trained using experimentally characterized peptides recognized by T-cells. Additionally, a MHC binding score can be generated using a third machine learning model. The scores generated by the machine learning models can be incorporated into a composite score for each neoantigen peptide based on each of the NP-predictor score, the T-epitope predictor score, and the MHC binding score, wherein the composite score identifies one or more immunogenic neoantigen peptides.
