Managing integrated continuous bioprocesses in real time: Deviations in product quality

The N-mAb case study was produced by the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL) to support teaching and learning for both industry and regulators around adoption of advanced manufacturing process technologies such as integrated continuous bioprocesses (ICB) for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). N-mAb presents the evolution of an integrated control strategy, from early clinical through process validation and commercial manufacturing with a focus on elements that are unique to ICB. The entire N-mAb case study is quite comprehensive, therefore this publication presents a summary of the chapter on managing deviations from a state of control in real time. This topic is of critical importance to ICB and is also applicable to batch processes operated at a rapid cadence.
