Change Order Form - Amendment 5*

 

Change order under Agreement dated: Development and Clinical Supply Agreement dated 19 June 2009

 

Between: Radius Health and 3M

 

Project Name: Radius Health proprietary compound BA058 and 3M proprietary microstructured transdermal system

 

Change requested by: Radius

 

Name:  Maria Grunwald

Company:  Radius Health, Inc

Date:   4 February 2011

 

Description of change:  Radius has asked 3M to prepare three Workplans that identify activities that could be initiated in [*].  These activities are summarized on the following Workplans:

 

Workplan #1 — Microscopic Evaluation of Clinical Supplies Workplan Summary

Workplan #2 — Residual Drug Analysis of Clinical Supplies Workplan Summary

Workplan #4 — DMF preparation for FDA response

 

In addition to the Workplans listed above, 3M will deliver responses to the FDA Advice/Information letter for the sMTS development received by Radius. These responses incorporate current testing plans (Workplan #[*], #[*], current manufacturing plan, in process controls, and the depth of penetration) & planned future development plan (i.e., DMFs development and sterile manufacturing process).  For the avoidance of doubt, 3M will provide Radius information on the depth of penetration studies funded by 3M at no charge to Radius.  The current responses to the FDA letter, and any authorized work, and reports conducted under the Workplans #[*] and #[*] will be completed by 3M and delivered to Radius by the end of [*] for Radius’ response submission.

 

Radius authorizes 3M to work up to a maximum of [*] hours at a rate of $[*] per hour in February under this change order.  Radius will prioritize the Workplans #[*] and #[*], and in the case of Workplan  #[*], Radius will advise which tasks that it wishes 3M to commence in

Workplan #3

 

RTC Process Development and Analytical Methods WORK PLAN SUMMARY

 

Objective

 

Determine operating conditions for RTC mixing and filtration that provide a robust process for preparing sterile, homogeneous ready-to-coat (RTC) formulation.  Following these experiments, the process and parameters for preparing RTC should be finalized.

 

Some method development efforts are also addressed below.

 

Background

 

[*]

 

Process efficiency is currently about [*]%.  Variations in filtration media and devices will be investigated to improve this number.

 

Scope

 

Observed response variables for the mixing experiments are average content, variance of the content, and viscosity.  Two mixing methods will be investigated: [*] (the current method) and [*], a [*] method [*].  For [*], three times ([*], [*], [*] min) prefiltration and four times ([*], [*],[*],[*] minutes) postfiltration will be tested.  For [*], three times will be investigated prefiltration ([*], [*], [*] minutes) and four times postfiltration ([*], [*], [*], and [*] minutes).    To investigate the effect of the RTC concentration, mixing will be performed with [*]% and [*]% bulk drug substance (w/w).  The current manufacturing process uses [*]% w/w.

Procedure

 

For each mixing technique, the prefiltration experiments will be performed.  The best prefiltration mixing time will be used for the postfiltration experiments.  The procedure will be repeated for the two concentrations of BA058.

 

The average and variance of the content will be determined by taking multiple samples from each mixing experiment and assayed using a validated HPLC method (Method-07-001836).   Viscosity of the RTC following each experiment will be tested using a Rheosense m-VROC.

 

Each experiment will use [*]  mL of RTC ([*] g of bulk drug substance).  [*].  The [*] g figure is considerably larger than previously quoted.  The previous quote assumed material could be saved by using the RTC from the mixing experiments to begin the coating process experiments.  Of course, unused RTC from this work will be saved for future use.

 

To determine the optimal approach to sterile filtration, a solution of BSA will be prepared with a viscosity similar to that of the current RTC.  This solution will be used to test filtration setups for easy of use and efficiency.  Once a suitable configuration is found, it will be tested by sterile filtering RTC and checking for changes in viscosity, purity, and content.
