Not your grandparents’ clinical trial

Everyone from the FDA to professional associations are investing time, money, and resources into upping the stakes when it comes to clinical trials.

From FDA’s Sickle Cell Disease awareness efforts to an award-winning inhalation pack to Xavier’s new graduate program, there is a lot going on when it comes to clinical trials.

Healthcare Packaging has put together short briefs about some of the most interesting developments happening in this area.

FDA efforts

The U.S. FDA is developing educational materials to raise awareness about clinical trials for Sickle Cell Disease. Some of these materials include a webinar for patients to learn how to find clinical trials for SCD and meetings with SCD stakeholder groups to determine the best strategies to raise awareness about clinical trials participation.

Co-packaging generics

PARI Respiratory Equipment, a worldwide developer and manufacturer of aerosol delivery systems, won an American Package Design Award for the K• Kitabis Pak®, which was approved by the FDA last December.

Kitabis Pak is reportedly represents the first co-packaging of generic

tobramycin inhalation solution with a PARI LC PLUS(®) Nebulizer for patients with cystic fibrosis.

"This award highlights all the hard work we put into this unique product of nebulized drug and device,” says Jan Zimmermann, Portfolio Manager for Kitabis Pak. “In creating a package that is easy for patients to use, we also wanted to convey that the components suit each other. By using complimentary colors, the packaging visually reflects the fact that tobramycin inhalation solution was designed to be delivered by the PARI LC PLUS Nebulizer."
