Collaboration provides clinical trial sponsors with access to the world’s most efficient clinical supply processes using a single contract
LOUISVILLE, KY — ClientPharma (CP), a global clinical trial supply company, specializing in the procurement of commercial drug for clinical research, announced today it has formed a strategic partnership with TrialCard, a full-service life sciences commercialization partner. As a result, global clinical supply and operations teams can now single source their commercial drug requirements by utilizing two best-in-class solution providers.
Meeting the needs of global clinical supply trials requires diversity in supply strategies to address the unique complexities of each country’s healthcare and medication distribution systems. The “one-size fits all” approach is not a single supply strategy; instead, it leverages the expertise of a supply vendor partnership that addresses the need for a multi-faceted supply chain strategy.
Under this partnership, clients will now enjoy an expanded reach by leveraging ClientPharma’s global sourcing, procurement and distribution logistics while also having the ability to utilize the RxStudy CardTM, TrialCard’s virtual inventory supply solution that has been augmented to place physical inventories of medication at sites for protocol designs that require immediate dosing. This will cut supply costs by 50% and reduce clinical supply teams’ efforts by 80%.
Andrea Chopek, President, North America at ClientPharma relayed, “Our industry is yearning for a sleek, global approach for commercial drug supply — and with this strategic partnership, we offer that. Together, we solve drug supply difficulties and navigate the many complexities — reducing supply chain risks and managing waste and costs throughout the stages of your clinical trial. Two industry leaders coming together doesn’t dilute the solution, it provides one concentrated, easy solution for our clients.”
Jeff Wiltrout, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Business Development at TrialCard, stated, “The responsibilities of clinical trial supply and operations personnel are vast and intricate. They need partners that make complex tasks simple and efficient. The partnership between market leaders like TrialCard and ClientPharma simplifies our clients’ global commercial drug sourcing responsibilities by providing a variety of streamlined, agile and efficient processes.”
