Celerion’s US Pharmacies Expand On-Site Services, Ensure cGMP FDA Compliance for Phase 1 Investigational Drugs

LINCOLN, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celerion, a leading clinical research organization specializing in early clinical research and bioanalytical services, announces the launch of on-site services for rapid sterility testing (validated alternative method to USP <71>) and dose formulation analysis.

Per FDA guidance, pharmaceutical products intended for parenteral administration must undergo sterility testing and provide results that meet stringent safety standards before reaching patients. Additionally, laboratory testing of Phase 1 investigational drugs must be completed to evaluate quality attributes including identity, strength, potency, and purity. Celerion’s comprehensive approach includes a fully integrated pharmacy and analytical laboratory facility.

Celerion’s on-site pharmacy allows for “just in time” flexible formulation, saving clients time and money. Leveraging state-of-the-art equipment and expert analysis, Celerion refines pharmaceutical dosage formulations efficiently and effectively.

“In the face of evolving regulations, timely access to accurate sterility test results is paramount,” said Phil Bach, Executive Vice President, Global Clinical Research. “Our in-house capabilities for sterility testing and analysis allow us to accelerate this critical step within our controlled environment, providing sponsors with unparalleled speed and development schedule oversight.”
