Administrative requirements

This section shall contain the administrative and organizational requirements, as well as the organizational structure and responsibility, the staffing requirements, the review and audit of facility operation procedures, the review of operational events, and reports and records. These limiting conditions and administrative requirements are derived primarily firom Chapter A. 13 (Conduct of Operations).

LDPE is nontoxic, and is commonly used in food packaging (qv) where Food and Dmg Administration requirements, such as 21CFR in the case of thin films, must be met. It is also used in packaging pharmaceuticals and other medical appHcations such as iv bags and tubes. 

Operating costs are best done in-house, because company personnel are familiar with corporate philosophies of staffing, maintenance, control laboratory operations. administrative requirements, and many other support aspects of running the business. If adequately staffed, the in-house study group should handle operating costs rather than try to teach a contractor company requirements. 

Buildings. Company philosophies on operating and maintenance as well as control and satellite laboratory operations and administrative requirements will set building requirements. The licensor will make suggestions, but the operating company will have to take the lead in setting up these requirements. 

Cisplatin administration requires adequate hydration and forced diuresis to prevent kidney damage. Cisplatin is intensely emetogenic and its use requires adequate antiemetic prophylaxis. Myelosuppression is less evident than with other alkylating agents. 

Oral administration requires great care because some patients have difficulty swallowing (because of a dry mouth or other causes). Other patients may refuse to take the drug. If the patient refuses to take the drug, the nurse contacts the primary health care provider regarding this problem because parenteral administration of the drug may be necessary. 

Pegylated interferon is interferon that is attached to a polyethylene glycol molecule that increases the half-life of the drug, thus allowing once-weekly dosing versus thrice-weekly administration required for the unmodified formulation. Pegylated interferon is well tolerated and is superior in efficacy to unmodified interferon for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.26... 

The preferred route of administration is intraperitoneal (IP) rather than IV to achieve maximum concentrations at the site of infection. Antibiotics can be administered IP intermittently as a single large dose in one exchange per day or continuously as multiple smaller doses with each exchange. Intermittent administration requires at least 6 hours of dwell time in the peritoneal cavity to allow for adequate systemic absorption and provides adequate levels to cover the 24-hour period. However, continuous administration is better suited for PD modalities that require more frequent exchanges (less than 6-hour dwell time). The reader should refer to the ISPD guidelines for dosing recommendations for IP antibiotics in CAPD and automated PD patients.49 The dose of the antibiotics should be increased by 25% for patients with residual renal function who are able to produce more than 100 mL urine output per day. 

It is clear from the foregoing discussion that none of the methods traditionally used for systemic administration are ideal. Intravenous administration requires hospital staff and, therefore, is rarely used in an outpatient setting. Intramuscular and subcutaneous... 

Difficulties in obtaining of adequate availability arose from three interrelated areas scientific and economical, regulatory and administrative requirements, and managing distribution in crisis.

A number of means may be used to administer materials nasally, nebulizers and aerosol pumps being the most attractive first choices. Accurate dose administration requires careful planning, evaluation of the administration device, and attention to technique.

With the exception of intravenous administration, where a drug is injected directly into the bloodstream, all the routes of administration require the drug to be absorbed before it can enter the bloodstream for distribution to target sites. Metabolism may precede distribution to the site of action, for example, in the case of oral administration. The human body also has a clearance process to eliminate drugs through excretion. We will now consider absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion with reference to Fig. 5.5.

Q81 Sirol imus administration requires monitoring of kidney function when given with ciclosporin. Sirolimus has an inhibitory action on the same receptors as ciclosporin. 

The brand file and random smoking plans are central to the whole automation design philosophy. The brand file was the first segment of the system to undergo major revision when the data handhng moved from the bureau to the in-house computer. The information on the brand file not only enables an analyst to monitor certain administrative requirements on behalf of the customer, but also allows the file itself to accompHsh most of the control functions required by the data processing system. The software to drive this expanded brand file runs interactively from a terminal in the laboratory and gives the analyst the abihty to update and maintain the file, and exert a measure of control over the whole system. 

Most convulsions associated with flumazenil administration require treatment and have been successfully managed with benzodiazepines, phenytoin, or barbiturates. 

Which route of administration is optimum Choosing the optimum dmg administration route takes into account the specific circumstances of each individual case. For example, can the patient tolerate oral medications, or is intravenous administration required Does the patient have venous access For how long can it be maintained Is intramuscular administration a possibility In many clinical situations, the available formulation determines the route of administration. Antibiotics are a prime example of this phenomenon ceftriaxone, for example, is available only for parenteral administration while amoxicillin is administered orally. 

Except for intravenous administration, all routes of drug administration require that the drug be transported from the site of administration into the systemic circulation. A drug is said to be absorbed only when it has entered the blood or lymph capillaries. The transport of drugs across membranes entails one or more of... 

Potentially fatal arrhythmias have occurred. This drug s administration requires a setting with continuous ECG monitoring and personnel trained in identification and treatment of acute ventricular arrhythmias. 

Some of the dosage formulations available for protein pharmaceuticals are listed in Table 5.7. An examination of Table 5.7 reveals that no protein drug up until this time has been formulated for oral administration. Most protein drugs are administered by means of injection (parenteral administration). Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intra-arterial, intracardiac, intraspinal or intrathecal, intramuscular, intrasynovial, intracuta-neous or intradermal, subcutaneous injections, and injection directly into a dermal lesion (e.g., a wart). The parenteral route of administration requires a much higher standard of purity and sterility than oral administration. It also may require trained... 

The dose and frequency of administration required to achieve effective therapeutic blood and tissue levels vary in different patients because of individual differences in drug distribution and rates of drug metabolism and elimination. These differences are determined by genetic factors and nongenetic variables, such as age, sex, liver size, liver function, circadian rhythm, body temperature, and nutritional and environmental factors such as concomitant exposure to inducers or inhibitors of drug metabolism. The discussion that follows summarizes the most important of these variables. 

Federal government guidelines (by NIDA-The National Institute on Drug Abuse and SAMHSA-The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) require that companies which use commercial class drivers licenses for employees must have a testing system in place. 

It can be seen that the protocol 1s much more than a document necessary to meet an administrative requirement. Proper development and deployment are the keys to providing a valid scientific Investigation. Outside of a well-designed study, there 1s no single document or factor that can be as crucial to the success of a study as the protocol.
