[**] [**] [**] Total Not to Exceed Amount $[**] C. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES C.1 Background In December 2019, a novel (new) coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 (“the virus”) was first detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province, People’s Republic of China, causing outbreaks of the coronavirus disease CO VID-19. As a result of the virus’ global spread, HHS declared a public health emergency for the U.S. on January 31, 2020 to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to COVID-19. On March 13, 2020, the President proclaimed that the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. constitutes a national emergency. Currently, there are no FDA-approved therapeutics for the treatment of COVID-19. There is great interest in evaluating the use of convalescent plasma and plasma-derived products as therapeutics for COVID-19, given their historical use as treatments in other outbreaks. Notably, the FDA recently published guidance on the investigational use of COVID-19 convalescent plasma under emergency INDs. As part of the HHS’ response to COVID-19, BARDA is seeking solutions for the manufacture and development of plasma-derived polyclonal antibody-based COVID-19 therapeutics for clinical evaluation, with potential for commercial-scale manufacture under EUA. C.2 Scope of Work (SOW)/Objectives Independently and not as an agent of the US Government (USG), the Contractor shall furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, materials, supplies, equipment and facilities not otherwise provided by the USG as needed to perform the work described below.

 

Task Order: 75A50120F33006 (Contract No. HHSO100201200004I) Page 6 of 18 The Contractor shall: • Collect human plasma containing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 sufficient to supply at least [**] doses of drug product. • Manufacture at least [**] doses of cGMP drug product for use in a controlled clinical trial using an approach amenable to commercial-scale production within potential EUA timeframe of [**], plus stability testing as required for clinical use. The clinical trial is anticipated to start within [**] of contract award. • Develop and validate/qualify assays required for screening, manufacturing, and stability testing as necessary. • Conduct supportive nonclinical studies as required for development of drug product. • Prepare and submit regulatory filings to FDA, including IND submission, and conduct formal meetings (e.g., Pre-IND) with FDA as necessary. EUA submission is targeted within [**] of task order award. • Support clinical trial(s) through the delivery of cGMP drug product (includes storage and shipping) and all supporting information as required. • Provide program management and reporting as required. C.3 (SOW) Tasks TASKS The Contractor shall perform the following Tasks: CLIN 0001: Manufacture and Development of Human Immune Globulin Drug Product from Human Plasma for Clinical Evaluation A. Collection of Human Plasma Containing Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 The Contractor shall collect human plasma containing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 which will include utilizing FDA-approved plasma collection centers in the U.S. Collection may rely on a [**]. The volume of plasma collected shall be sufficient to supply at least [**] doses of final human immune globulin drug product. B. Manufacture of at Least [**] doses of Human Immune Globulin Drug Product The Contractor shall use the collected plasma to manufacture at least [**] doses of fill- finished human immune globulin final drug product under cGMP conditions. The manufacturing approach used should be scalable based on the availability and timing of plasma collections, with potential to scale-up to commercial manufacturing within a potential EUA timeframe of [**] from task order award. A manufacturing process used previously for FDA-approved human immune globulin products is preferred as a means

 

Task Order: 75A50120F33006 (Contract No. HHSO100201200004I) Page 7 of 18 of reducing technical and regulatory risk. The process should include purification and viral inactivation/removal as necessary. BARDA anticipates that the purified product will be formulated as a liquid formulation. The [**] doses of fill-finished drug product must be made available for clinical evaluation; the clinical trial is expected to start within [**] of task order award. The Contractor must oversee storage and shipping of plasma, intermediates, and drug product between facilities as required. The Contractor must also conduct stability testing as required to support clinical use of the product. C. Development and Validation/Qualification of Assays to Support Screening and Manufacturing The Contractor shall develop assays as needed to support cGMP manufacturing, including (but not limited to) in-process, release, and stability assays. Potency assays specific to SARS-CoV-2 will need to be developed based on either wildtype SARS- CoV-2 (will require [**]) or pseudotype virus (will require [**]). The assays must be qualified and/or validated as appropriate using available reference standards or positive controls. This shall include the production of all analytical documentation, training and facility readiness required to support on-going testing. In the event that assays are to be subcontracted, the Contractor shall provide copies of the Supply and Quality Agreements between the Prime Contractor and Subcontractor for review prior to approval. D. Conduct Supportive Nonclinical Studies as Required for Development of Drug Product The Contractor shall conduct nonclinical studies to support the development of the human immune drug product, including any as specified by FDA.
