The components of drug release
The drug release process consists of these components:
- Location—The location for drug release is the central or local depot. The central depot releases drug units (typically, through lots) according to the depot architecture you set up.
- Drug units—Drug units are the individual drug units dispensed to subjects. Drug units are typically tracked by lot in IRT.
- Lot—A lot is a batch of drug units. Drug units are packaged in lots by the manufacturer.
- (optional) Label group—The label group determines the countries to which the drug units (lots) can be sent.
