CLINICAL SUPPLY & LOGISTICS

Clinical Supply & Logistics from

Sourcing Through Site Delivery

CEBIS supports clinical trial supply programs with comparator sourcing, IMP packaging and blinding, storage, shipment, site supplies, international logistics and temperature-controlled delivery.

Supply activities can be coordinated around study timelines, participating sites and clinical operations to help keep required materials available throughout study conduct.

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

From Product

Sourcing to the Study Site
CEBIS supports clinical supply activities including comparator sourcing, customs clearance, IMP packaging and blinding, shipment, storage, site supplies and supply coordination connected with IRT/IWRS workflows.
01

Comparator & Product Sourcing

Coordinate sourcing requirements based on the product, study design and supply strategy.

02

Packaging & Blinding

Prepare investigational products and study materials according to the requirements of the clinical program.

03

Storage

Coordinate retention and storage requirements before distribution.

04

Distribution

Arrange shipment of study materials to participating sites.

05

Site Resupply

Support ongoing trial-location needs, including lab kits and other study supplies.

06

Returns & Closeout

Coordinate remaining materials and required supply activities as participating sites complete the study.

PRODUCT SOURCING

Supply Strategies Built
Around the Study

Clinical trial sourcing decisions can affect study timelines, cost and product availability.

Supply planning can consider local versus centralized sourcing, product availability and waste reduction so required materials remain available throughout the trial.

CEBIS can support planning around:

CLINICAL PACKAGING

Preparing Study Materials

for Clinical Use
Clinical trial materials may require packaging, labelling and blinding before distribution to participating sites. CEBIS can coordinate IMP packaging and blinding as part of the supply-management workflow.
Support can include:

Clinical Packaging

Prepare study materials according to the requirements of the protocol and supply plan.

Labelling

Coordinate study-material labelling based on program and market requirements.

Blinding

Support packaging approaches required to maintain the study blind where applicable.

Site Kits & Supplies

Prepare required clinical supplies and laboratory kits for participating study locations.

CLINICAL LOGISTICS

Moving Study Materials
Where They Are Needed

Global logistics support can include international shipping, collection and pick-up services, shipment tracking, consumable resupply and equipment management, using appropriate distribution partners, couriers and freight specialists.

Coordinate shipment and collection of clinical materials for participating sites.

Maintain visibility of shipments during the delivery process.

Provide additional consumables and clinical materials during active study conduct.

Coordinate storage, shipment, calibration or maintenance requirements for relevant study equipment where applicable.

Support international shipments with consideration for local import and customs requirements.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Protecting Temperature- Sensitive Study Materials

Temperature-sensitive investigational products and clinical trial materials require appropriate storage, packaging and transport throughout the supply chain.

Cold-chain delivery can include temperature-controlled packaging, monitoring of storage and transit conditions, and processes designed to preserve product integrity during distribution.

Key considerations include:

SUPPLY TECHNOLOGY

Connecting Study Supply With
Randomization and Site Needs

Clinical supply planning can be connected with randomization and site inventory management. Where IRT/IWRS is used, supply-management functionality can support product allocation to sites and adjustments based on study requirements.
COORDINATED DELIVERY

Supply Planning Connected
to Study Execution

Clinical supplies need to arrive in the right place at the right point in the study.

CEBIS can coordinate supply activities with:

This helps align supply requirements with the wider clinical program.
