8.Stability Indicating Assay for Drug Product

The sponsor noted that they would like to come and meet with CBER sometime after approval of Prevnar 13 to discuss development plans for a stability indicating assay in greater detail.  In particular, the sponsor would like to obtain CBERs advice or ideas on acceptable options.  CBER agreed that this should be the focus of a separate meeting after February 2010.

  II. Miscellaneous
A.CBER noted that the unknown effect of succinate (which is contained in Prevnar 13, but was not contained in Prevnar) on -----(b)(4)----------- is a concern and requested any available information on this.   In particular, CBER would like to know what succinate is doing to ---(b)(4)----- for the 7 serotypes in Prevnar 7.
B.CBER asked the sponsor to specify the relative difference between the QL for      -----------(b)(4)---- in Prevnar 13 final drug product and the -----(b)(4)------ for a (b)(4)--.  The sponsor will follow-up with CBER with this information, which is in the BLA.
