Ensure your clinical trial supply chain is running smoothly with this practical guideClinical trials are a critical part of the pharmaceutical development process. These trials cannot proceed without timely and regular receipt of the drugs being tested, which can prove a challenge for drug manufacturers who have not yet established the structures required to produce quality-controlled specimens of the drug at scale. Managing supply chains of pre-production drugs for clinical trials is therefore an essential component of drug development. Supply Chain Planning for Clinical Trials offers a practical introduction to this process for researchers and industry professionals. Beginning with the basics of clinical trial supply chain management, it proceeds step by step through all aspects of demand and supply planning for clinical trials. The result is a thorough overview that also offers practical examples of how to plan supply for clinical trials.
