If someone told you that they could hear music in their ears while stimulated by absolutely no melodies in the real world, you might think it to be cool. It’s like you always have your very own, private party.

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.
