The path to successful Clinical Supply Chain Management
Clinical Trial sponsors are facing increased pressure to run trials more efficiently by incorporating adaptive trial design, supply pooling, and on-demand labelling strategies to increase supply flexibility and reduce cost. Additional complexities involving IMP (investigational medicinal product), comparators as well as the ever prevalent regulatory obstacles in emerging clinical trial regions has caused the need for a pragmatic and flexible approach to clinical trial supply chain management.
The growing demand for efficiencies and cost reduction within the clinical supply chain is matched by the expectation of a superior level of service from outsourced Supply Chain Management vendors who can offer:
• Budgetary management and cost containment
• Specialized expertise in navigating the complex and diverse import/export regulatory requirements of emerging clinical trial regions
• Fluid channels of communication between all stakeholders
