STREAMLINING SUPPLY CHAIN FOR SUCCESSFUL CLINICAL TRIALS

Clinical trials are crucial for advancing medicine and improving healthcare by ensuring:

• Safety and Effectiveness Testing:
• Enhancing Existing Treatments:
• Advancing Medical Knowledge:

With the constant innovation and increasing need of advanced research & development, the costs of developing new medications has become highly cost attractive in the last decade.

Certainly! Streamlining the supply chain for successful clinical trials is crucial for managing costs, ensuring timely delivery of medications, and maintaining study efficiency. Here are some strategies to achieve this:

?1.?Source Only What I needed: From the Right Source at Right Time

“Comparator sourcing” refers to the process of obtaining a reference product (often called a “comparator”) for use in clinical trials; and it drives the major cost factor for any clinical trial.

At Jupiter Research Services, we help you to optimize the costs for Comparator Sourcing with our expertise and global reach.

·?Strategic Sourcing:

o?? Source Only What You Need

o?? Avoid overstocking comparators

o?? Assess trial requirements carefully and procure the necessary quantity.

·?Choose the Right Source

o?? Work with reliable suppliers who can provide high-quality comparators promptly, like Jupiter Research Services

·?Timing Matters

o?? Plan to ensure comparators arrive when needed during the trial.

Remember, efficient comparator sourcing contributes to successful clinical trials by minimizing costs and ensuring accurate results.

2.?Package and Label Clinical Supplies as Needed

·?Consider adopting on-demand packaging and labeling methods. These allow trials to start within a few weeks, even with unforeseen changes, as the process takes only hours.

·?Traditional packaging and labeling processes often have long lead times (around eight weeks or more). This can delay trial initiation and increase costs.

·?At Jupiter Research Services, we can assist you to plan for the packaging campaigns as per your planned enrollment cycles in line with the protocol defined treatment plans.

?3. Implement Flexibility to Reduce Costs

·?Clinical trials are subject to unexpected changes (e.g., early trial termination, slow enrollment, or adding new countries).

·?A flexible supply model allows you to supply medication only as needed, reducing both rework and unplanned expenses due to drug waste.

·?Packaging and labeling costs should only be charged when the medication is shipped to the clinical site.

?4. Contract Clinical Supply Services That Share Risks

·?Consider contracting clinical supply services four to six months before you need the supplies.

·?Shared-risk models align the interests of both parties, ensuring efficient supply management and cost control.

Remember, these strategies empower you to optimize clinical trial supply chains, reduce costs, and enhance overall study success.
