When selecting a clinical supply provider, consideration often focuses upon the manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution capabilities available that will, at face-value, be sufficient to meet the needs of the sponsor and their trial. However, there are human-based and knowledge-driven factors that are often overlooked that go beyond these basic physical capabilities and are integral to the development and delivery of high performing clinical supply chains.

As the development pipeline for new drugs continues to grow, biopharmaceutical companies are re-evaluating how to best manage and balance resources across an increasing number of development projects and complex clinical trials. There are two approaches that can be used to speed a drug from development to clinic faster: timeline compression and parallel processing, but only one that considers the benefits of integrating clinical supply into the overall drug development process.
