REGULATORY OVERVIEW

Marin Biologic Laboratories is a contract research organization - CRO - performing GLP and GMP laboratory services. We have extensive experience in assay development and validation for new drug substances and drug products for biologics. Assay development for GLP and GMP studies as well as GLP and GMP assay support is performed for lot release, sample analysis, IND, BLA and NDA submissions. The technologies described under specific headings can be offered for assay development and validation.

ASSAY DEVELOPMENT

If you need assay development or simply to transfer an assay to a contract research organization - CRO - to analyze samples for FDA submissions, we will work with you to meet your long term needs, whether or not it requires GLP, GMP compliance. Vendors and reagent lots will be selected to ensure that your reagents will perform consistently and provide continuity in your assay over time. For assay development, our scientists will perform the assay under "research level" protocols and identify those parameters such as the limit of detection (LOD), the limit of quantitation (LOQ) and the linear range that will be critical for assay validation which typically will be conducted under GLP or GMP compliance. We will write SOPs and protocols which can be used for assay validation.

GLP, GMP ASSAY VALIDATION

Once the parameters and range are set during the assay development or transfer, we will discuss with you the number of experiments necessary to show linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, robustness, ruggedness and system suitability. Statistical data analysis will be discussed with you, so that the relevant data analysis tools are used to best match your system. As part of our contract research organization - CRO - services a GLP or GMP protocol will be generated for your sign-off and all SOPs pertinent to your assay will be reviewed with you. Often before we begin the assay validation, controls will be generated and aliquoted under GLP or GMP compliance which may be used over several years depending upon the stability of the reagents. We will discuss these issues with you during the assay development or transfer. Our scientist will perform the validation under GLP or GMP compliance and a report will be submitted to your regulatory staff for review. After your review, a GLP or GMP final report will be issued.

POTENCY ASSAY, DRUG RELEASE ASSAY

If we have developed and validated your potency assay, whether it be a cell-based assay, enzyme assay, ELISA assay or some other assay, and you have accepted the final report, we can begin to analyze your samples under GLP or GMP compliance. If you need to submit documentation concerning potency for your drug release assay or stability study in a cell-based assay, we will discuss with you the parameters of your cell culture, your frozen stocks, etc. in order to maintain the cells with minimal variability from assay to assay over the years. If you have an enzyme based assay or ELISA assay we will discuss with you the storage conditions, controls, and other parameters that may impact your assay over the years. As part of our contract research organization - CRO - services, our scientists will assist you in preparing your regulatory filings.
