Abstract

The L1 Global Harmonization Team provides recommendations specifically for run acceptance of ligand binding methods used in bioanalysis of macromolecules in support of pharmacokinetics. The team focused on standard curve calibrators and quality controls for use in both pre-study validation and in-study sample analysis, including their preparation and acceptance criteria. The team also considered standard curve editing and the concept of total error.
