Celerion Adds USP 797-Compliant Clean Room, Enabling Execution of Microtracer and Microdosing Studies
Celerion
announces the completion of a Clean Room and pharmacist certification to comply with USP 797 guidelines. This enables in-house preparation for microtracer studies providing an alternative to the requirement for GMP manufacturing of the IV solution. The sterile preparation and administration allows clients a one-stop option thereby saving time and money.
A large number of bioavailability and First-in-Human (FIH) studies require sterile compounding. The USP 797 Clean Room allows for all types of complex extemporaneous compounding for low, medium, and high risk investigational compounds. This allows Celerion to take a client’s API, develop customized dosing and compounding that enable very selective dose levels to be administered. This solution combined with our experience in delivering early stage adaptive trial designed studies will allow clients to reach clinical proof-of-concept (PoC) faster.
“The addition of the USP 797 Clean Room continues to demonstrate Celerion’s commitment to implement innovative solutions to generate critical data to enable decisions in drug development to be made earlier,” said Phil Bach, Vice President of Clinical Research at Celerion. “The clean room when combined with our Lincoln, Nebraska, facility’s radiolabel license, allows Celerion to offer execution of Phase 0, microtracer, and microdosing studies producing data typically not available until later in drug development.”
The design of this Clean Room includes three separate areas, one ante-room that serves two individual clean rooms. One clean room is a dedicated microtracer area which contains a Class A2 Biological Safety Cabinet for radiolabeled microtracer compounding. An additional clean room contains a laminar flow hood for traditional IV compounding. Both clean rooms are ISO 7, attached to an ISO 8 ante-room and are used for sterile compounding.

AI in Clinical Trials: A Long, But Promising Road Ahead
May 29th 2024Stephen Pyke, chief clinical data and digital officer, Parexel, discusses how AI can be used in clinical trials to streamline operational processes, the importance of collaboration and data sharing in advancing the use of technology, and more.
Patient Engagement Platform Checklist
November 22nd 2024Modern clinical trials are more complex than ever, and one significant reason is the increased focus on patient engagement. Incorporating a patient engagement platform into your clinical trial enhances the patient experience and can lead to more successful trials with stronger, more reliable outcomes. We put together this helpful checklist of key features to look out for when choosing a platform for your study.
The Rise of Predictive Engagement Tools in Clinical Trials
November 22nd 2024Patient attrition can be a significant barrier to the success of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Today, with the help of AI-powered predictive engagement tools, clinical study managers are finding ways to proactively reduce attrition rates in RCTs, and increase the effectiveness of their trial. In this guide, we look at the role AI-powered patient engagement tools play in clinical research, from the problems they’re being used to solve to the areas and indications in which they’re being deployed.
