Sponsors today are faced with many challenges in successfully completing clinical trials especially now that trials are more global extending into developing countries. Patient enrolment and retention is a consistent challenge, but once a Sponsor is confident that patient pools are ready to participate in their trials, the real challenge is in getting adequate clinical trial supplies to the patient on-time, in-full and in the right condition.

This webinar will discuss ways in which we can ensure “distribution readiness” by having a real understanding of the pre-FPI planning and preparation as well as country rollout post approval, including:

Clear definition of roles & responsibilities
Using feasibility data and enrolment forecasting
Documentation preparation in advance
Careful selection of logistics providers
Risk avoidance across the supply chain

The result is a well defined, smooth and sustainable process, mitigating risk from beginning to end.
