Dear Mike,

Please see draft comments below. Please use these comments in preparation for our discussion scheduled for February 11th at 2 PM. Thank you!

DRAFT COMMENT

Extractables and Leachables (E/L):
Background:

The primary container system for storage of the H5N1 antigen ----(b)(4)------------) is --------(b)(4)---------------------- (approved for use in FluLaval seasonal influenza vaccines), the --------(b)(4)----------------------------------.

The final report containing the extractables and leachables data summarized in the submission for the ----(b)(4)------------------was provided in Amendment 26, February, 1, 2013.

Regarding study ---------(b)(4)------------------ Extractables Analysis, ----(b)(4)------- was identified as the major extractable, and low amounts of --------------------------------------------------------------(b)(4)-------------------------------- were identified, within -----(b)(4)-----------------------------------------. These extractable levels increased in water from ------(b)(4)-------- when stored at ------(b)(4)------.

The final report for a Controlled Extractables Study to compare the ------------------(b)(4)------------------------------ was also provided.

In this study, ---(b)(4)------ was detected in every sample extract and was the most abundant compound in each (b)(4) extract. Its concentration was higher (3-5 fold) in the ----(b)(4)- extracts from ---(b)(4)------ compared to ---(b)(4)--. Also the degradation product of -------------------------------------------(b)(4)------------------------------------------------------------------- extract from the ---(b)(4)------- when compared to ---(b)(4)----. In the ----(b)(4)------- analysis for the water solutions, ------------------(b)(4)--------------------------------- were detected in the ---------(b)(4)--.

Data on leachables were not provided for ---(b)(4)-----.

Reviewer’s comments:
You propose to store the H5N1 ---(b)(4)-------- for at least -(b)(4)- in these storage (b)(4). Since the E/L studies for this ---(b)(4)---- are limited (only -----(b)(4)------------ and ----------(b)(4)------------------------), these data are insufficient to draw any conclusions about the appropriateness of these ---(b)(4)----- for ---(b)(4)--- for the proposed shelf life. 

We have the following comment:
We recommend that the leachables studies be carried out in presence of the ---(b)(4)---------- for the length of the indicated shelf life. Such studies can be part of the long term stability studies for the H5N1 (b)(4) in the --------(b)(4)----------. These leachable studies using ----(b)(4)----- should be compared with (b)(4) stored in the ---(b)(4)------- under similar conditions and storage times. As an additional control, it is advisable to use newly filled ------(b)(4)----------- with H5N1 antigen (b)(4) and/or monovalent seasonal influenza vaccine.
