Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for processing a process chain prediction model. Background Technology

[0002] Downstream production of protein drugs is a complex and delicate process involving multiple key steps in the extraction and purification of the target protein from cell culture medium. These steps aim to improve product purity and ensure the quality and performance of the final product. However, conventional downstream processes present several challenges to downstream process control that is geared towards product quality and performance.

[0003] First, the downstream process flow consists of multiple independent process units connected in series, each with different process and time constraints. This series connection leads to complex interdependencies between units, with the output of each unit directly serving as the input for the next. Therefore, any unit operation is affected by the previous one, and this cumulative effect makes it difficult to accurately predict and control the quality of the final product. Second, product quality is the cumulative effect of clarified cell culture medium across multiple process units. As the production process progresses through multiple stages, the degree of influence of process parameters and process units on product quality may vary. This variation increases the difficulty of process control, as precise control of different process parameters is required at different stages. Furthermore, fluctuations in cell culture medium quality or disturbances in any single process unit will propagate throughout the production process, affecting the quality and process performance of the final product. This propagation effect leads to differences in product quality and process performance between different batches, further increasing the complexity of process control.

[0004] The commonly used approach at present is to model each individual process unit independently. However, this approach has several problems. First, it lacks a holistic understanding and consideration of the production process, making it unable to accurately predict and control the cumulative effects of product quality and process performance. Second, models of individual process units can only predict the impact of parameter changes on product quality and process performance within a single step, failing to identify the impact on the final product quality and process performance. Therefore, predictions and risk assessments conducted using a single model are often inaccurate and cannot provide a robust and comprehensive control strategy to address fluctuations and deviations that occur during production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for processing a process chain prediction model, in order to solve the problem that predictions and risk assessments conducted using models for individual process units are inaccurate and cannot provide a robust and comprehensive control strategy to cope with fluctuations and deviations that occur during the production process.

[0020] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the processing method of the process chain prediction model according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] The technical solution of this invention involves obtaining process parameters corresponding to multiple process units in a production process flow; for each process unit, constructing a unit prediction model based on the process parameters; and for any process unit in the production process flow, obtaining a process chain prediction model corresponding to that process unit based on the unit prediction model and the unit prediction models of related process units.

It achieves model association between the product and all relevant process parameters, enabling simultaneous analysis of the impact of multiple process units on the final product quality. This avoids the risk that optimizing a single process unit may lead to a decline in the performance of other process units, providing a robust and comprehensive control strategy to cope with fluctuations and deviations that occur during the production process.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Figure 1This is a flowchart of a process chain prediction model processing method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the product quality and process performance of each process unit in a production process are predicted, and the production process is controlled based on product quality and process performance. This method can be executed by a process chain prediction model processing device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software, and can be configured in electronic devices such as computers and servers. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0036] S110. Obtain the process parameters corresponding to multiple process units in the production process flow.

[0037] In this context, a process unit refers to an operational unit within a production process that performs specific technological operations according to a defined process flow. For example, taking the production process of monoclonal antibody stock solution as an example, the downstream production process includes four process units: capture chromatography, depth filtration, anion exchange chromatography, and concentration and liquid exchange. Process parameters refer to various factors that affect the production process and product quality; specifically, process parameters include, but are not limited to, temperature, pressure, time, and flow rate.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, process parameters and predicted indicators for each process unit in the production process are collected. The predicted indicators are used to characterize product quality attributes or process performance; therefore, the predicted indicators can be product quality attributes, such as host cell protein residue, or process performance data, such as product recovery rate. It should be noted that the collected process parameters can be divided into a modeling set and a validation set. The modeling set data is used to establish the process chain model, and the validation set data is used to validate the process chain model.

[0039] In some embodiments, for each process unit, the process parameters of the process unit can be converted into a process parameter matrix, which can be represented by X. j This represents a process parameter matrix, and can also be represented using Y. j Let represent the prediction index matrix. Here, 1 ≤ j ≤ k, and k represents the number of process units. It can be understood that if the number of experiments for process unit j is n... j Then the process parameter matrix X j The size is n j ×i j Predictive index matrix Y j The size is n j ×q j For example, taking the production process of monoclonal antibody stock solution as an example, the number of experiments, process parameters, and predicted indicators for the four process units in the production process of monoclonal antibody stock solution are shown in Table 1:

[0040] Table 1

[0041]

[0042] S120. For each process unit, construct a unit prediction model for the process unit based on the process parameters of the process unit.

[0043] Among them, the unit prediction model is used to predict the prediction indicators of the process unit, and the unit prediction model can be a regression module.

[0044] It should be noted that in the production process, the unit prediction model of the first process unit represents the mapping relationship between the prediction index of the first process unit and the first influencing factor; the first influencing factor includes the process parameters in the first process unit; the unit prediction model of non-first process units represents the mapping relationship between the prediction index of non-first process units and the second influencing factor; the second influencing factor includes the process parameters of non-first process units and the prediction index of the process unit preceding the non-first process unit.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, for the first process unit, a unit prediction model for the first process unit is established based on the process parameters of the first process unit; specifically, since the second-order terms or interaction terms of the process parameters can also have a significant impact on the prediction index, the process parameter matrix X1 can be expanded to... Used for model fitting. Where X1 is a process parameter item, Let X1 be a quadratic term of the process parameters, and X1·X1 be an interaction term of the process parameters. It can be understood that if the size of the process parameter matrix X1 is n1×i1, then the process parameter extended matrix... The size is

[0046] The cell prediction model for the first process unit is: Where Y1 is the prediction index matrix for the first process unit (size n1×q1, where q is the prediction index and q1 is the prediction index for the first process unit). It is the process parameter extension matrix of the first process unit (size is...) )), It is the regression coefficient matrix (size is 1). ), ∈1 error term matrix (size is n1×q1).

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, for non-first process units, a unit prediction model is established based on the process parameters of the non-first process unit and the prediction index of the preceding process unit. Specifically, similar to the method for constructing the unit prediction matrix of the first process unit, the process parameter matrix also needs to be expanded to obtain an expanded process parameter matrix. The expanded process parameter matrix includes process parameter terms, quadratic terms of process parameters, interaction terms of process parameters, and the prediction index of the preceding process unit. The process parameter matrix X can be... j Expanded into an extended matrix of process parameters Where X1 is a process parameter item, X1 is a quadratic term of the process parameters, X1·X1 is an interaction term of the process parameters, and Y is a quadratic term of the process parameters. j-1 This is a predictive indicator for the previous process unit. It can be understood that X... j The size is n j ×i j , The size is The "+1" is because the prediction index Y from the previous process unit was added. j-1 .

[0048] The cell prediction model for non-first process units is: Among them, Y j It is the prediction index matrix of the j-th process unit (of size n) j ×q j ), It is the extended matrix of process parameters for the j-th process unit. It is the regression coefficient matrix (size is 1). ), ∈ j Error term matrix (size n) j ×q j ).

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, for each constructed unit prediction model of a process unit, the regression coefficients of the unit prediction model can be estimated using the least squares method to obtain the unit prediction model of the process unit.

[0050] S130. For any process unit in the production process, obtain the process chain prediction model corresponding to the process unit based on the unit prediction model of the process unit and the unit prediction model of the associated process units.

[0051] It should be noted that for non-first process units, the associated process unit is at least one process unit in the production process flow that is located before the non-first process unit, and the process chain prediction model corresponding to the first process unit is the unit prediction model of the first process unit.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, for the first process unit, the unit prediction model of the first process unit is used as the process chain prediction model corresponding to the first process unit; for non-first process units, the unit prediction models of associated process units and the unit prediction models of non-first process units are merged to obtain the process chain prediction model corresponding to the non-first process unit.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, obtaining the process chain prediction model corresponding to the process unit based on the unit prediction model of the process unit and the unit prediction model of the associated process unit includes: for any non-first process unit, based on the execution order of each process unit, using the unit prediction model of the previous process unit as the prediction index of the previous process unit, merging it into the unit prediction model of the next unit, until the unit prediction model of the associated process unit is merged into the unit prediction model of the non-first process unit, thereby obtaining the process chain prediction model corresponding to the non-first process unit.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, for any non-first process unit, the unit prediction model of the previous process unit is recursively used as the prediction index of the previous process unit and merged into the unit prediction model of the next process unit, until the unit prediction models of related process units are merged into the unit prediction model of the non-first process unit, thus obtaining the process chain prediction model corresponding to the non-first process unit. The process chain prediction model corresponding to the non-first process unit can be expressed as:

[0055]

[0056] Among them, g j It is a joint function that contains the process parameter extension matrix of the j-th process unit and the unit prediction model of the associated process units.

[0057] The technical solution of this embodiment obtains the process parameters corresponding to multiple process units in the production process flow; for each process unit, a unit prediction model of the process unit is constructed based on the process parameters of the process unit; for any process unit in the production process flow, a process chain prediction model corresponding to the process unit is obtained based on the unit prediction model of the process unit and the unit prediction models of related process units. This approach comprehensively considers multiple process units, fully integrates the process parameters of all process units in the production process flow, and focuses on the interdependencies between process units, thereby improving the understanding and prediction of the entire production process flow. It achieves model association between the product and all relevant process parameters, enabling simultaneous analysis of the impact of multiple process units on the final product quality. This avoids the risk that optimizing a single process unit may lead to a decline in the performance of other process units, providing a robust and comprehensive control strategy to cope with fluctuations and deviations that occur during the production process.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a process chain prediction model processing method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, the method may optionally include: obtaining the expected process parameters of each process unit; and using the process chain prediction model corresponding to each process unit to predict the expected process parameters of at least one process unit to obtain the prediction index of each process unit.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0061] S210. Obtain the process parameters corresponding to multiple process units in the production process flow.

[0062] S220. For each process unit, construct a unit prediction model for the process unit based on the process parameters of the process unit.

[0063] S230. For any process unit in the production process, obtain the process chain prediction model corresponding to the process unit based on the unit prediction model of the process unit and the unit prediction model of the associated process units.

[0064] S240. Obtain the expected process parameters of each process unit; use the process chain prediction model corresponding to each process unit to perform prediction processing on the expected process parameters of at least one process unit to obtain the prediction index of each process unit.

[0065] The predicted process parameters can be obtained based on historical data, experience, or optimization algorithms. In this embodiment of the invention, the predicted process parameters of each process unit are substituted into the process chain prediction model corresponding to each process unit, and the predicted process parameters of at least one process unit are predicted to obtain the predicted index of each process unit.

[0066] The technical solution of this embodiment obtains the expected process parameters of each process unit; and uses the process chain prediction model corresponding to each process unit to predict the expected process parameters of at least one process unit, thereby obtaining the predicted indicators of each process unit. Based on these predicted indicators, the overall performance and potential risks of the production process are evaluated.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a process chain prediction model processing method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the unit prediction model of any process unit includes multiple initial parameter items, which include one or more of process parameter items, quadratic terms of the process parameters, and interaction terms of the process parameters. After constructing the unit prediction model of the process unit based on the process parameters of the process unit, the method further includes: determining the significance index corresponding to each of the multiple initial parameter items; filtering the multiple initial parameter items through the significance index corresponding to each of the multiple initial parameter items to obtain target parameter items; and updating the unit prediction model based on the target parameter items. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0069] S310. Obtain the process parameters corresponding to multiple process units in the production process flow.

[0070] S320. For each of the process units, construct a unit prediction model for the process unit based on the process parameters of the process unit.

[0071] S330. Determine the significance index corresponding to each of the plurality of initial parameter items; filter the plurality of initial parameter items using the significance index corresponding to each of the plurality of initial parameter items to obtain target parameter items; update the unit prediction model based on the target parameter items.

[0072] The significance index is used to evaluate the significance of the initial parameter items, facilitating the selection of these items. In this embodiment, a significance index corresponding to each of the multiple initial parameter items is determined based on a preset testing method. The selection is then performed based on the significance index of each initial parameter item, retaining parameter items that have a significant impact on the prediction result (i.e., target parameter items) and removing those with minor or insignificant impact. The unit prediction model is updated based on the target parameter items. The preset testing method includes, but is not limited to, T-tests and F-tests. For example, using the T-test, the significance index corresponding to each initial parameter item is calculated. Initial parameter items with significance indices lower than a preset significance level threshold are retained, while those with significance indices higher than the preset significance level threshold are removed, thereby updating the unit prediction model. The preset significance level threshold can be 0.05.

[0073] For example, taking the production process of monoclonal antibody stock solution as an example, the number of key process parameters for the four process units finally determined are 3 (process parameters: a1-a3), 4 (process parameters a4-a7), 1 (process parameter a8), and 5 (process parameters a9-a7). 13 ), and the predicted indicators (host cell protein residues) of the four process units were expressed in B j This indicates that 1≤j≤4.

[0074] The unit prediction models for the four process units are as follows:

[0075] The unit prediction model expression for the first process unit is: B1 = β 1.0 +β 1.1 *a1+β 1.2 *a2+β 1.3 *a3+β 1.4 *a1*a2.

[0076] The unit prediction model expression for the second process unit is: B2 = β 2.0 +β 2.1 *a4+β 2.2 *a5+β 2.3 *a6+β 2.4 *a7+β 2.5 *B1.

[0077] The unit prediction model expression for the third process unit is: B3 = β 3.1 +β 3.2 *a8+β 3.3 *B2.

[0078] The unit prediction model expression for the fourth process unit is: B4 = β 4.0 +β 4.1 *a9+β 4.2*a 10 +β 4.3 *a 11 +β 4.4 *a 12 +β 4.5 *a 13 +β 4.6 *B3.

[0079] S340. For any process unit in the production process flow, obtain the process chain prediction model corresponding to the process unit based on the unit prediction model of the process unit and the unit prediction model of the associated process units.

[0080] For example, taking the production process of monoclonal antibody stock solution as an example, the expression of the process chain prediction model corresponding to the fourth process unit is:

[0081] B4 = β 4.0 +β 4.1 *a9+β 4.2 *a 10 +β 4.3 *a 11 +β 4.4 *a 12 +β 4.5 *a 13 +

[0082] β 4.6 *B3(β 3.1 +β 3.2 *a8+β 3.3 *B2(β 2.0 +β 2.1 *a4+β 2.2 *a5+β 2.3 *a6+

[0083] β 2.4 *a7+β 2.5 *(β 1.0 +β 1.1 *a1+β 1.2 *a2+β 1.3 *a3+β 1.4 *a1*a2))).

[0084] Figure 4 This is a comparison chart of the prediction results of the traditional single-step model and the prediction results of the process chain prediction model provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Taking the production process of monoclonal antibody stock solution as an example, the prediction results of the traditional single-step model and the prediction results of the process chain prediction model in the production process of monoclonal antibody stock solution are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0085] The technical solution of this embodiment involves determining the significance index corresponding to each of the plurality of initial parameter items; filtering the plurality of initial parameter items using the significance index to obtain target parameter items; and updating the unit prediction model based on the target parameter items. Updating the unit prediction model while retaining the initial parameter items that significantly affect the prediction results allows the updated model to better capture key information in process parameters, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of predictions. Furthermore, it simplifies the unit prediction model and improves its generalization ability.

[0086] Example 4

[0087] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a processing method for a process chain prediction model provided in Embodiment 4 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, the method further includes: obtaining the numerical range of process parameters in the process chain prediction model; sampling based on the numerical range of the process parameters to obtain multiple sets of simulated parameter values ​​for the process parameters in the process chain prediction model; predicting the multiple sets of simulated parameter values ​​based on the process chain prediction model to obtain prediction indices corresponding to the multiple sets of simulated parameter values; and adjusting the numerical range of the process parameters when the prediction indices corresponding to the multiple sets of simulated parameter values ​​meet the numerical range adjustment conditions.

[0088] like Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0089] S410. Obtain the process parameters corresponding to multiple process units in the production process flow.

[0090] S420. For each process unit, construct a unit prediction model for the process unit based on the process parameters of the process unit.

[0091] S430. For any process unit in the production process, obtain the process chain prediction model corresponding to the process unit based on the unit prediction model of the process unit and the unit prediction model of the associated process units.

[0092] S440. Obtain the numerical range of process parameters in the process chain prediction model; sample based on the numerical range of process parameters to obtain multiple sets of simulated parameter values ​​of process parameters in the process chain prediction model; predict the multiple sets of simulated parameter values ​​based on the process chain prediction model to obtain prediction indicators corresponding to the multiple sets of simulated parameter values; adjust the numerical range of process parameters when the prediction indicators corresponding to the multiple sets of simulated parameter values ​​meet the numerical range adjustment conditions.

[0093] The numerical range refers to the range of process parameters in the process chain prediction model. In this embodiment of the invention, the numerical range of process parameters in the process chain prediction model can be determined based on the research scope of process characterization, such as actual production experience, process requirements, or experimental data. It should be noted that the distribution of values ​​within the numerical range is uniform to ensure that the probability of each value being selected within the numerical range is equal. Further, sampling is performed within the numerical range of the process parameters to obtain multiple sets of simulated parameter values ​​in the process chain prediction model. The number of simulations is set, and simulation predictions are performed on each set of simulated parameter values ​​based on the process chain prediction model to obtain the prediction indicators corresponding to each set of simulated parameter values. Further, the prediction indicators corresponding to each set of simulated parameter values ​​are verified based on the acceptance standard range. If the proportion of the prediction indicators corresponding to each set of simulated parameter values ​​within the acceptance standard range is greater than or equal to a preset proportion, then the numerical range of the process parameters is considered to be a verified acceptable operating range, and no adjustment of the numerical range is required. If the proportion of the prediction indicators corresponding to each set of simulated parameter values ​​within the acceptance standard range is less than a preset proportion, then the numerical range of the process parameters is narrowed. For example, the acceptance criteria range can be the mean of the predicted indicator ± 3 times the standard deviation, and the preset ratio can be 95%.

[0094] It should be noted that this can be achieved by adjusting the upper and lower limits of the parameters, changing the distribution type of the parameters, or re-optimizing the parameters. The adjusted numerical range should be verified by simulation again until it meets the requirements of the acceptance criteria.

Based on the above embodiments, the method further includes: obtaining simulated parameter values ​​of process parameters in each process unit; predicting the simulated parameter values ​​of process parameters of at least one process unit through the process chain prediction model of each process unit to obtain the prediction index corresponding to each process unit; and increasing the acceptance range corresponding to non-end process units when the prediction index of the end process unit in the production process meets the preset acceptance range.

[0097] like Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0098] S510. Obtain the process parameters corresponding to multiple process units in the production process flow.

[0099] S520. For each of the process units, construct a unit prediction model for the process unit based on the process parameters of the process unit.

[0100] S530. For any process unit in the production process, obtain the process chain prediction model corresponding to the process unit based on the unit prediction model of the process unit and the unit prediction model of the associated process units.

Obtain the simulated parameter values ​​of the process parameters in each process unit; predict the simulated parameter values ​​of the process parameters of at least one process unit using the process chain prediction model of each process unit to obtain the prediction index corresponding to each process unit; if the prediction index of the terminal process unit in the production process meets the preset acceptance range, increase the acceptance range corresponding to the non-terminal process unit.

[0102] In this embodiment of the invention, the numerical range of process parameters in the process chain prediction model can be obtained; based on the numerical range of process parameters, sampling is performed to obtain multiple sets of simulated parameter values ​​for process parameters in the process chain prediction model; through the process chain prediction model of each process unit, the simulated parameter values ​​of process parameters for at least one process unit are predicted to obtain the prediction index corresponding to each process unit. If the prediction index of the terminal process unit in the production process flow meets the preset acceptance range, it indicates that the current production process flow is controllable in terms of prediction index and may have some optimization space, and the acceptance range corresponding to non-terminal process units can be increased. It is understood that if the prediction index of the terminal process unit is stable and meets expectations, then even if there are some fluctuations in the preceding process units, it will not have a significant impact on the final product. Increasing the acceptance range helps to reduce strict restrictions in the production process, improve production efficiency, and maintain stable product quality.
