This technical note discusses the rationale for using two-point calibration and multi-point verification in the calibration of aerosol photometers. It explains the theoretical basis for the linear relationship between photometric response and aerosol mass concentration, highlights practical challenges with multi-point calibration, and advocates for two-point calibration to minimize errors. The combination of two-point calibration and multi-point verification ensures the accuracy and performance of the photometer in critical applications.
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.
