Developing analytical methods and bioassays is necessary from early on in the drug development life cycle.
tilialucida/Stock.adobe.com
A critical element in all drug development—from early clinical trials to final form and dose of a drug—is the qualification and validation of analytical methods and bioassays.
This paper identifies the relevant International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP) guidelines and suggests appropriate and efficient study designs, method of analysis, and acceptance criteria. All study designs suggested are the minimum number of determinations needed to qualify or validate a method.
