How does the manufacturing process ensure the quality and efficacy of cancer drugs?
Quality and efficacy are ensured through stringent Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and regulatory guidelines. GMP encompasses all aspects of production, from the raw materials used to the final product. Regular testing for potency, purity, and stability is conducted. Advanced analytical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry are often employed. Additionally, clinical trials are conducted in phases to rigorously test the safety and effectiveness of the drugs before they reach the market.
