Determination of carryover and contamination for mass spectrometry-based chromatographic assays
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2007, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
The Third American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists/Food and Drug Administration Bioanalytical Workshop, held in 2006, reviewed and evaluated current practices and proposed that carryover and contamination be assessed not only during the validation of an assay but also during the application of the method in a study. In this article, the potential risks of carryover and contamination in each stage of a bioanalytical method are discussed, to explain to the industry why this recommendation is being made.

Biomarker qualification pilot process at the US Food and Drug Administration
New biomarkers of safety and efficacy are becoming powerful tools in drug development. Their application can be accelerated if a consensus can be reached about their qualification for regulatory applications. This consen...
Application of dense gas techniques for the production of fine particles
The feasibility of using dense gas techniques such as rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS) and aerosol solvent extraction system (ASES) for micronization of pharmaceutical compounds is demonstrated. The chir...
Evaluation of Approaches to Deal with Low-Frequency Nuisance Covariates in Population Pharmacokinetic Analyses
Clinical studies include occurrences of rare variables, like genotypes, which due to their frequency and strength render their effects difficult to estimate from a dataset. Variables that influence the estimated value of...
A Markov Chain Model to Evaluate the Effect of CYP3A5 and ABCB1 Polymorphisms on Adverse Events Associated with Tacrolimus in Pediatric Renal Transplantation
The SNP A6986G of the CYP3A5 gene (*3) results in a non-functional protein due to a splicing defect whereas the C3435T was associated with variable expression of the ABCB1 gene, due to protein instability. Part of the la...
Effect of Censoring Due to Progressive Disease on Tumor Size Kinetic Parameter Estimates
Tumor growth profiles were simulated for 2 years using the Wang and Claret models under a phase 3 clinical trial design. Profiles were censored when tumor size increased >20% from nadir similar to clinica...
