Descriptions of procedures used to prepare the production equipment, including any cleaning and purging procedures for a subsequent batch are provided in document 5, SOP # MP 201 and MP 202.

6. MANUFACTURE OF DRUG PRODUCT

A.Production Operation

The production operation is initiated by manually loading the desmethyl-NNC 112 RWAY dissolved in 0.08 mL of DMF and 4.5 μL of methanolic 0.17M tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide into the Bioscan Autoloop module. [11C]Ccarbon dioxide, produced from the cyclotron, is then converted into [11C]iodomethane via the GE methyl iodide Micro-lab module. The [11C]iodomethane is then swept into the Autoloop module and the radiolabeling reagent is reacted with desmethyl-NNC 112 RWAY to produce [11C](S)-RNNC 112WAY. The radiolabeled drug substance is purified by HPLC and the HPLC eluent removed by rotary evaporation. The purified [11C](-)-RWAYNNC 112 is formulated in Sterile Saline for Injection (USP, 0.9% w/v; 10 mL) and sterile-filtered into a sterile, pyrogen-free dose vial. The final sterile vial, vent needle, product needle, and two sterile 0.22 µm filters are assembled in a sterile cabinet (certified laminar flow sterile cabinet in RM B3C-313) before attachment to the radiosynthesis unit.

The master production and control records that provide the exact procedures used in the controlled production of [11C](-)-RWAYNNC 112 are provided in document 2.

Attached to each [11C](-)-RWAY NNC 112 batch (in this order):
