• We are implementing significant lyophilization cycle optimization projects– Optimized primary drying steps are sometimes as
high as 600 mTorr (900 µBar)– Published work on effect of pressure during
secondary drying goes up to 200 mTorr• Scale-up within a production dryer can lead to
higher final moisture content– Suggests an effect of water vapor– Some older lyophilizers do not control pressure by
nitrogen injection, but by throttling the vacuum pump

• The only paper addressing the effect of pressure upon secondary drying
• Formulations tested:– 5% Povidone (PVP, polyvinylpyrrolidone)– 18% Moxalactam di-sodium + 12% mannitol
• Pressure range 50 – 200 mTorr (67 – 267 µBar) with N2
• Samples were re-hydrated following complete lyophilization, then put through secondary drying
• Used a sample thief to stopper and remove samples• About 6% water vapor in the product chamber at 200
mTorr

• One full shelf of 176 sample vials• Lyophilization cycle:
– Freeze to 0 oC for 0.5 hours– Ramp to -40 oC at 1 oC/min, hold for 4 hours– Establish vacuum at 200 mTorr– Ramp shelf temperature to -10 oC, hold for 44 hours– Continue into secondary drying conditions specific for each experiment
• Secondary drying pressure achieved in one of two ways:– Normal operation of lyophilizer using N2 injection, or– “Water vapor” method described in following slides
• Three sample vials removed at each time point using sample extractor. Only non-edge vials were sampled.
• Gas <30% H2O (estimated using Pirani data)

• Primary drying carried out as before• The ballast vials provide H2O vapor throughout
secondary drying of the sample vials– Pirani gauge does not drop
• At end of primary drying, pressure set to 0– No nitrogen injection
• Gate valve adjusted to achieve desired pressure– Only water vapor in chamber
• Sample throughout secondary drying
• >90% H2O as estimated with Pirani gauge

Many ways to express. Most common is the partial pressure of water divided by saturation pressure:
, “relative humidity”, “aw”
Saturation pressure Po is a strong function of temperature

• Pressure can have a profound effect upon secondary drying in the range 50 – 600 mTorr, but only if water vapor content is high– Water vapor content will be high in any lyophilizer that
does not control pressure using dry gas injection (e.g. throttling valve on vacuum line)
• Sorption data can be used to guide lyophilization secondary drying process development
• The “old” way of setting chamber pressure as low as possible for secondary drying makes sense in light of the “old” way of controlling chamber pressure- vacuum line throttling
Conclusions
![Page 23: 160427 Searles SMI Lyo USA Effect of Chamber P and RH on Sec Dry Rate+PC1 intro slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58828dc11a28abca6d8b5d6f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
• Know how your lyophilizers control chamber pressure (N2 gas injection or vacuum line throttling)
• Secondary drying pressure:– N2 gas injection: Pressure in the range 50-600 is not a factor
Most lab lyos use N2 gas injection, but a smaller percentage of production lyos do!
– Vacuum pump throttling: Very low pressures recommended in order to assure low partial pressure of water vapor
Prevent scale-up surprises, improve lot-to-lot consistency
• Understand moisture sorption behavior of your product• Understand water vapor levels in laboratory and
production lyophilizers
Recommendations
