Accelerate GLP-1 impurity profiling with Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD)
Tuesday, July 21 at 15:00 BST | 16:00 CEST | 10:00 EDT | 07:00 PDT
The rapid rise of glucagon‑like peptide‑1 receptor agonists (GLP‑1 RAs) has transformed the peptide therapeutics landscape, driven by their success in diabetes and obesity treatment and expanding potential across metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. As demand accelerates, biopharma QC teams face increasing pressure to perform high‑confidence GLP‑1 RA impurity profiling. These complex peptides require robust, well‑characterized analytical methods to ensure product quality, support regulatory expectations, and maintain lifecycle control.
Discover in this SelectScience webinar with Pawel Bigos, Senior Scientist, Waters Corporation, how a case study using Exenatide, a GLP‑1 RA used in type 2 diabetes therapy, uncovered 20 impurity peaks through a streamlined, risk‑based approach for developing lifecycle‑ready liquid chromatography (LC) methods. Bigos will demonstrate how applying analytical quality‑by‑design (AQbD) risk assessments, Design of Experiments (DoE), and Method Operable Design Regions (MODRs) enables deeper method understanding.
Bigos will also explore peak‑tracking strategies, orthogonal mass detection, Pareto analysis, and resolution mapping, which together provide a blueprint for high‑confidence impurity profiling in complex peptide therapeutics.
