ARCBS study
  • Assuring the safety of blood components
  • Voluntary, non-remunerated donors
  • Donor education
  • Stringent donor selection criteria
  • Highly sensitive laboratory screening of donated
    blood
  • These measures result in an extremely low
    residual risk of transfusion-transmitted viral
    infection (TTVI)

3
Background
  • Residual risk of TTVIs in Australia
  • Hepatitis B 1 in 633,000 transfusions
  • Hepatitis C 1 in 6,387,000 transfusions
  • Human T-cell lymphotrophic virus I/II (HTLVI/II)
    1 in 6,820,000 transfusions
  • HIV 1 in 9,242,000 transfusions
  • Estimates current to January 2006

Plasma products
  • To ensure the safety of CSL Bioplasmas plasma
    derivatives from blood borne pathogens
  • Maintain a watching brief on emerging and
    recurrent pathogens of concern (TNVs)
  • Identify, develop and introduce sensitive assays
    for the detection of pathogens in plasma
  • Generate comprehensive validation data on
  • the efficacy of CSLs dedicated viral
    inactivation and removal steps in the
    manufacturing process
  • the ability of selected steps in the
    manufacturing process to remove viruses and/or
    putative prions

Advantages of Chromatography
  • Gentle process
  • Higher Yield
  • Higher purity
  • Automation and closed system
  • Facilitates extraction of additional proteins
  • Viral and Endotoxin clearance

OPTIMISING QUALITY SAFETY OF PLASMA PRODUCTS
Plasma quality screening Minimize viral risk in
the initial plasma pool 1. Strict donor
exclusion criteria 2. Individual plasma
donation screening - Serology tests (HIV,
HCV, HBV) - NAT (HIV, HCV) 3. Plasma pool
screening - Serology tests (HIV, HCV, HBV)
- NAT (HIV, HCV, parvovirus B19)

1st September 2006 Dept. of Health, UK)

Guidelines and Regulatory Positions
  • FDA Note for Guidance (2002)
  •  Model TSE agents are removed from plasma
    products by manufacturing steps such as
    precipation, depth filtration and column
    chromatographydata suggest that the vCJD agent
    is similarly reduced by some manufacturing
    steps 
  • Impact donor deferral and batch withdrawal
    policy subsequently (2003) on TSE clearance
    labeling
  • WHO Guidelines (2003)
  •  Experimental studies from several research
    groups have consistently shown substantial
    reduction of spiked TSE infectivity during plasma
    fractionation steps, and there is growing
    evidence that the risk from plasma derivatives is
    negligible. 
  • Impact donor deferral and batch recall
    recommendations

TSE Conclusions
  • No reported cases of vCJD in recipients of plasma
    fractionated products
  • Risk appears extremely small and currently
    remains theoretical
  • Further precautionary measures have been taken
    based on conservative risk modelling
  • restriction of plasma for Biostate to donors who
    have never visited a BSE country
  • Research continues into possible additional
    process steps to increase capacity to remove
    prions should they be in the starting plasma pool

21
VIRAL INACTIVATION OF CELLULAR COMPONENTS
22
METHODS FOR REMOVAL OF PATHOGENIC VIRUSES FROM
CELLULAR COMPONENTS
  • 1. Leucocyte depletion
  • currently in use, requires careful validation
  • benefit relates to intracellular viruses only
  • 2. Light activated chemical approaches
  • photodynamic inactivation
  • psoralens

23
PHOTOSENSITISED VIRAL DECONTAMINATION
  • More effective for plasma and platelets than for
    red cells
  • Selection of specific wavelength to activate the
    dye
  • Use of quenchers e.g. mannitol vitamin E
  • Modifying rate at which light is delivered
  • Evidence of activity against broad range of
    infectious agents
  • viruses
  • enveloped
  • non-enveloped
  • bacteria
  • parasites
  • malaria
  • T. Cruzii
  • possible avoidance of alloimmunisation

24
PHOTOCHEMICAL INACTIVATION
  • Issues
  • Safety profile
  • psoralens are potential carcinogens
  • toxic effects
  • risk reduction or risk substitution?

25
INACTIVATION OF PATHOGENS PRESENT IN RED CELL
CONCENTRATES
  • Technologically more challenging
  • Light based approaches unlikely to be effective

26
Summary Swiss cheese model of safety
  • Recognise that any system has gaps
  • Put systems to catch anything getting trough a
    gap
  • Donor qualification
  • Donor testing
  • Pooled plasma EIA
  • Pooled plasma NAT
  • Production process
  • Dedicated viral inactivation

27
Summary
  • Donor screening is still the cornerstone of viral
    safety
  • EIA based screening of donor pools cost
    effective but leaves a window
  • NAT screening of donor pools expensive but
    reduces the window
  • Different fractionation methods have different
    safety profiles
  • Viral inactivation methods vary form manufacturer
    to manufacturer and product to product
  • Current systems are very reliable and effective
  • Further work continues
  • TSEs
  • TNVs
  • Cellular products
