Special studies

In-Vivo
Tape Stripping

Raptim can provide relative expertise in quantifying the amount of drug available at stratum corneum at a particular time point.

Quantification of the drug in stratum corneum layer of skin

Applicable for topical drugs not quantifiable through systemic absorption.

Pivotal BE studies between test and reference formulations

Pilot studies to calculate ED50 with reference formulation or generating absorption and elimination profile with the reference formulation

Glucose Clamp Studies

Raptim Research can support Glucose Clamp Studies for our sponsor and we have experienced team to manage these studies at our setup. As per the regulatory requirements, the pharmacodynamic data on time-actions profiles using the Glucose Clamp procedure should be available for bio-similar insulin preparations, including pre-mixed insulins. In addition there is a general agreement among experts that the Glucose Clamp procedure is one of the best available solutions for the assessment of insulin action.

In the Glucose Clamp experiment, by means of a variable infusion of glucose, the blood-glucose lowering effect of a drug (like insulin or oral antidiabetic agent) is antagonised. This enables the blood glucose concentrations to be maintained or “clamped” at a predefined target level. Raptim has a well-controlled environment and setup for Glucose Clamp studies.

Clinical Investigator and the staff is well trained in Glucose Clamp Studies, we can do 10-12 clamps/week

Vivo Dermal Microdialysis

Raptim can provide relative expertise in quantifying the amount of drug available at the Dermis layer at different time points. The procedure involves inserting a catheter in  dermis/epidermis layers of the skin.

Quantification of the drug in the dermal layer of skin

Applicable for topical drugs with low to moderate protein binding.

Skin Blanching
Studies

Raptim can provide the measurement of vasoconstriction assay (VAS) of cortocostroid products using Chromameter. Skin Blanching Assay or Vasoconstriction can be used to demonstrate the bioequivalence of topical corticosteroids.

Skin Irritation and
Sensitization Test

Raptim provides test for topical formulation by Modified Draize test using occlusive/non occlusive method, comparison is done with positive and negative controls.
