Clinical Trial Drug Formulations

Companies that provide clinical trial materials can produce them in a variety of formulations, including tablet form, gel capsules, liquid solutions, semi-solid solutions and sterilized solutions for intravenous use. These clinical trial materials may be packaged in a variety of methods, using whatever type of packaging is most appropriate. Depending on the type of studies that the clinical trial materials are intended for, the packaging may be clearly labeled or left completely blank. When the packaging for the materials is left blank, the materials are placed in bulk within larger containers that are clearly labeled. These materials are useful for blind or double blind clinical trials and are effective in keeping the contents of the materials private to prevent accidental transmission of information meant to be kept private. Should clinical trial participants accidentally be exposed to excess information, the trials may be compromised, skewing the results of the trial and possibly negating the trial.
