In this second installment of a three-part series, industry stakeholders discuss recent developments in the U.S. marketplace from both the regulatory and payer viewpoints, with an emphasis on how these may lead to opportunities for biosimilar manufacturers.
Risk-based testing has been in play for several years now. By design, there is a significant opportunity to avoid many lifecycle costs without creating an adverse impact to quality or processes. These cost-saving opportunities may not be obvious at first glance, but upon a closer look, they can offer real and tangible savings.
Sitting on one of those long, painful, study status update calls recently, I was reminded of the famous light bulb joke. You know the one: “How many engineers (lawyers, politicians, etc.) does it take to change a light bulb?” I was both flabbergasted and frustrated that, after 45 minutes, the project manager was still wading through status updates from a myriad of CRO and vendor partners and CRAs — just to figure out where the study was from a site activation and enrollment standpoint.

The process of establishing a defendable environmental monitoring (EM) sampling plan during performance qualification of a new facility can be broken into six phases. This article will discuss the sampling preparation phase and sampling execution phase.
It’s ruefully referred to throughout the clinical trial industry as the “one and done” phenomenon, and it’s a problem that has plagued us for years. The term refers to physicians and other medical professionals who jump into a trial to assume the duties of principal investigators (PIs).

When an acquirer purchases a product’s manufacturing rights, that company not only acquires a formula but also a manufacturing process. The manufacturing party can be a pharma company or a CMO.
Breathing is an involuntary reflex action and one of the most basic yet important functions that the body performs. However, for millions who suffer from chronic lung problems and respiratory disease, a single breath is never taken for granted. Certain respiratory diseases are the leading cause of death in the US and include chronic lung problems, such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. In addition, heart attack and accident victims, premature infants, and people with cystic fibrosis and lung cancer suffer from respiratory problems.
