• 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:

1. 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.
2. Sample preparation for some analysis is complex with test results potentially influenced by analysis bias.
3. Analysis to simulate of the lung entails complex calculations. To perform these calculations, data would need to be transcribed from instruments reports to bespoke software.
4. 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!
