Running a successful clinical trial relies heavily on the management of risks within the supply chain. Risk management is an essential part of clinical trials to ensure that sponsors can generate a clear return on investment without disruptions. It’s a complex process of identification and management depending on a number of factors that can impact the effectiveness of the trial. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. Each clinical trial has its own complexities based on the comparator, data and stock shortages which can delay timelines and increase costs. Mistakes can prove very expensive and more importantly, put patient safety at risk.
Successful clinical trials need effective supply chain management procedures to make sure risks are identified and managed in a timely manner, so that the required medication is available at the site when needed. Taking a holistic approach to assessing and managing risks makes sure that sponsors can prevent things that will impact the trial and the data generated. There needs to be a robust methodology in place for identifying, evaluating and proactively managing the risks involved in clinical trials. Having the benefit of a global reach and multiple sources can make a tremendous difference to the options available.
So, what are the risks involved in clinical trial supplies and comparator sourcing and how can you manage these risks to ensure a successful clinical trial on a global scale?
