CGMP Radiosynthesis for Early Phase Clinical Trials
Radiolabeled drugs are used in Human ADME and bio-availability studies. While the regulatory requirements for traditional “cold” clinical trial materials are well understood, the regulatory requirements for radiolabeled are much less understood by industry. The synthesis of radiolabeled compounds sometimes requires development of new synthetic pathways which can be significantly different from the traditional synthetic pathway. The radiolabeled drug can have significantly different stability and impurity profiles from the non-labeled drug and thus require special considerations. These special considerations may pose challenges in terms of ensuring CGMP compliance and safety for the patient during the clinical trial.

How to Evaluate Manufacturer-Provided Extractable Information

Most pharmaceutical container/closure systems in use today are purchased from component manufacturers, who often provide material characterization information on their products. A common and often expensive misstep is to assume manufacturer-provided information will suffice as Extractables and Leachables (E&L) data. This paper will help you understand what information regulators require in your filing, provide questions to ask suppliers, and explain how to evaluate manufacturer-provided information relative to your unique product.
