As described in the chapter subsection USP <1207.3> Package Seal Quality Test Methods, the measurement of residual seal force (RSF) indicates the quality of the vial package seal, giving insight into the quality of the sealing process. Correlating RSF to CCI data enables optimization and validation of the vial sealing process with parameters that give assurance of good CCI. This Case Study describes how science-based statistically valid RSF data was generated on the vial sealing process and combined with CCI data to ensure good CCI of sterile product needing deep cold storage
The Role of On-Demand Manufacturing and Derisking in Accelerating Early Clinical Trial Success
June 4th 2025Small pharmaceutical companies are constantly seeking innovative solutions to streamline early clinical trials. Adaptive clinical trials offer important benefits to sponsors and patients, both from a commercial and ethical standpoint. These trials offer flexibility and efficiency, especially in the early stages, where trial protocols can be adjusted based on interim data, such as introducing new doses or modifying participant sample size. However, adjusting manufacturing demand during an adaptive trial can be complicated, and strict regulatory requirements present significant challenges. On-demand manufacturing provides a robust solution, allowing for real-time supply and demand adjustments and improved trial flexibility. This paper explores how on-demand manufacturing meets the operational needs of adaptive trials and aligns with regulatory expectations.
