A Case Study in the SciCord Comprehensive Solution:
Pearl leverages the SciCord Informatics Platform to record and manage data for regulatory filing.
Benefits:
By utilizing the SciCord Informatics Platform, the varying teams at Pearl Therapeutics were able to obtain the following benefits:
- Improved the review process by >30%
- 3X more efficient than previous solutions
- Successful FDA Filing & Audits
- Collaboration on reviews across sites
- Work from home during Covid and other life events
Situation
In 2015, Pearl Therapeutics was a small company developing novel inhaled formulations. As a small company, Pearl was resource constrained and needed to increase laboratory throughput and then perform trending and visualizations on the data to guide development.
Challenges:
- The delivery mechanism would be a metered dose inhaler (MDIs) and would involve multiple physical constituents, an aerosol propellant, and the active drug(s). Each constituent represents a variable to be characterized in the development process and would require many formulation batches and stability trials.
- Sample preparation for some analysis is complex with test results potentially influenced by analysis bias.
- Simulating the lung entails complex calculations. To perform these calculations, data would need to be transcribed from instrument reports to bespoke software.
- Trending and visualizations are key to understanding the impact of formulation and stability data. The data would need to be searchable and available for SQL query by Spotfire & JMP.
SciCord was contacted based on a previously successful inhaled data management solution at GSK by SciCord’s founder.
Impact:
The fate of the company hinged on a successful regulatory filing!
- Validated solution across all functions
- Structured Data for trending and visualizations
- Instrument interface
- Manage 2 geographical sites (east/west coast USA)

A Case Study in the SciCord No-Code Method
Transform Existing Spreadsheets into a Production-Grade System
Benefits
- Quick implementation and Ease-of-Use for lab personnel
- Use of existing spreadsheets and processes
- Enhancements/Upgrades and testing performed quickly
- Compliance and Validation Materials (Requirements, Risk Assessments, Validation Plans and Reports)
Situation
In May 2022, a customer embarked on plans to optimize their operations, implementing a closed expansion process. The aim of the closed expansion protocol was to enable the simultaneous expansion of multiple products within a single facility, eliminating concerns about cross-contamination through airborne particles. The new process introduced the risk of inadvertent contamination when similar flasks containing different products were present in the same room.
To address this issue, the scientists devised a spreadsheet-based batch record system. This solution not only managed the expansion process but also ensured proper segregation of products. However, it fell short of compliance standards.
[spacer]
[spacer]
Impact:
The closed expansion process was scheduled to be implemented for production in 2023, necessitating a compliant and robust flask management process.
Outcomes:
This customer joined forces with SciCord to transform their existing spreadsheets into a production-grade batch record system. This transformation involved the development of several modules to digitize all aspects of the process:
[spacer]
[spacer]
To initiate the batch record development process, the engineers provided SciCord developers with one or more workbooks. The workbooks laid out the process steps and defined the flow of materials and required calculations. The workbooks form the basis of the module and are integrated with LIMS. In a matter of days, the first iteration of a process is implemented (plug and play) in a test environment for review by the engineers. Typically, 2-4 iterations of each module are required to finalize the process. Each module can be developed and ready for documentation and testing in just a few weeks.
“Enhancements/upgrades and testing performed quickly.”

An expected Influx of new scientists into the group would necessitate extensive training and represented a potential source of error and non-compliance.
Quality data generated “right the first time” would be crucial for analyzing clinical material, ensuring stability, and supporting regulatory filings.
Impact:
The ability to develop and gain regulatory approval for an inhaled product would positively impact the company’s bottom line and would likely determine the future of the new development group.
Digitized data was easily identified and produced for audits.
Controlled review and approval of notebooks guaranteed adherence to defined process.
Implementation of lab execution processes ensured all required information was recorded and minimized the training required for new staff.
“We have been audited by FDA twice and they had no concerns about the system nor any findings.”
