This presentation will explore the implementation and benefits of drug pooling in clinical trials, using Incyte’s experience as a case study. Key points include:
- Sponsor and vendor perspectives on the growing importance of sustainable clinical trial practices to reduce drug waste, lower costs, and optimize supply chain management
- Considerations when selecting an Interactive Response Technology (IRT) platform to address supply chain needs, and IRT’s role in enhancing clinical supply management with real-time control, data integrity, and support for complex supply scenarios
- Case study on drug pooling as one methodology to save costs and reduce waste, with exploration of what it is, how it works, and concerns trials may have
- Lessons learned from how Incyte has utilized drug pooling to enhance flexibility and efficiency in their studies and the corresponding impact on demand planning
Temperature excursions can occur at any stage of the clinical supply chain—from depot to site to patient—posing significant risks to product integrity, compliance, and trial timelines. In this session, experts from Endpoint Clinical and Berlinger will explore how real-time temperature monitoring and RTSM integration provide full visibility across the entire supply journey.
We’ll break down how shipment and site-level integration within an RTSM system minimizes human error, enhances decision-making, and reduces drug wastage. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how connected systems empower site staff, streamline operations, and drive efficiency across clinical trials.
Key Takeaways:
- The impact of temperature excursions across the clinical supply chain
- How integration enhances visibility and reduces manual effort
- The role of real-time data in proactive excursion management
- Measurable benefits in efficiency, compliance, and waste reduction
