OBSERVATION: The scale used in measuring body weights had an expired calibration date. Weighings were done 8/2/99; the labeled calibration expiration date of this scale, Asset #434, was 7/25/99. RESPONSE: All the scales and balances within this facility are in a scheduled calibration program. The Calibration Record for the above scale indicates that it was calibrated on 7/24/99; however, the calibrator had failed to replace the calibration tag with one having the correct information. Metrology had been contacted and will make the correction. H. James K. Bellows 8/14/99 W. Harris Date: Date: Date: 8/8/99 8/9/99 8/12/99

OBSERVATION: SOP 43-74A, Subcutaneous Injections of Primates, requires the use of a 23-gauge needle for administration of the test article mixture or control substances for a 2-minute duration. A 20-gauge needle was being used, and the mixtures were administered for a duration of 1 minute. RESPONSE: For these larger primates (4.55.5 kg) the increased cannula size and administration rates are appropriate. The SOP will be modified, reflecting the increases in cannula size and administration rates correlated with primate weight averages. W. Strykowski K. Bellows 4/15/00 D.

OBSERVATION: The following were observed in the appended Statistical Report: In Table 2, Urinanalysis, the mean pH of the T2 females and T3 males are respectively recorded as 6.5 and 7.3. Calculations associated with the raw data indicate respective mean pH of 6.7 and 7.0. In Table 5, Absolute and Relative Animal Organ Weights, the mean kidney weight of the T4 males is recorded as 44.23 g. Calculations associated with the raw data indicate a mean of 47.57 g. RESPONSE: The errors noted above in Tables 2 and 5 of the Statistical Report have been corrected and the database changed to reflect the raw data. R. Chin, PhD (Statistician) B. Murphy, PhD (Stats.

AUDIT REPORT

OBSERVATION: 1The Test Method validation file for determining the potency of test article ST-211 had been approved by the department manager on 10/16/99. Animals in study 99-125 were dosed with this compound seven days prior to approval of the validated test method on 10/9/99. 2SOP 796-35.02, MS-345 Determination-HPLC, approved 5/3/97, requires that for each standardization and test, the chromatographic system components be identified on the charts. Examination of the applicable HPLC charts, run 11/06/99, indicate that only the column has been identified. RESPONSE: 1The Test Method for the determination of potency for ST-211 includes more than three determinations consistently using the same methodology and performed by the same scientist. This had been reviewed in Dr. Shaws Laboratory Notebook, accepted and acknowledged by management on 10/3/99. The formal Test Methodology Report was signed, as indicated, on 10/16/99. An explanation will be written, filed both in the validation file and with the documentation for study 99-125. 2These identity requirements had inadvertently been excluded; however, they had been recorded in the scientists Laboratory Notebook, and have now been transcribed to the proper charts. This individual and other members of the department have been cautioned to be more meticulous. Prepared By: Approved By: R. Shaw, PhD, Methods Development W.

AUDIT REPORT Contract Laboratory
Report Number: Facility Audited: Location: Date(s) Audited: Auditors: AUDIT SCOPE: 00-030 Southwestern Laboratories (SWL) Albuquerque, NM 6/11/00 B. E. Anderson B. E. Anderson 6/18/00 At the request of Drug Safety Evaluation (DSE), the QAU evaluated the organization, facilities, operations, and SOPs of SWL with intensive surveillance of their QAU. Date: 6/18/00

AUDIT COVERAGE: Facilities: There are four buildings at this site, three used for nonclinical studies. Primates were in Bldg. B; observed building and room maintenance, cage washing, and facility security. Bldg. A contained the QAU, the archives, and computer operations. Evaluated QAU facilities and files. Observed raw data, report retention, and histology tissue storage. Operations: Observed technicians IM dosing, measuring body weights and food consumption, recorded by clinical signs; general facility animal husbandry and computer operations. Concurrently reviewed the QAU auditors documentation process. Documentation: Reviewed the SOPs of the study function groups and the QAU. Also reviewed the Master Schedule, CVs of personnel, pest applicators log, cage wash equipment log, instrument calibrations, and primate TB treatment test records. Recommendation: Our evaluation of SWL indicates that it has an excellent staff of scientific and technical personnel. Their management personnel stress total compliance and administer the most stringent international standards to all of their contracted regulated studies. We would recommend contracting with SWL, contingent on their acquiring a remote secondary backup tape storage facility. Observation: SWL stores its computer backup tapes within the computer operations facilities of Bldg. A. It does not have off-site location for the secure storage of secondary backup tapes. Response: In my phone conversation of 6/22/00 with Dr. Simmons, President of SWL, he informed me they have a project commencing on 7/1/00, providing for secondary computer tape storage in a local bank vault.
