A study has found that there is still a very high level of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing to patients in the US, particularly to older and Black patients. Sifting through data from around seven billion outpatient visits to doctor’s offices, hospital clinics and emergency departments over a seven-year period, the researchers found that almost three-quarters (74%) of antibiotics prescribed to patients aged 65 years or older, and two thirds (64%) to Black patients, were unnecessary.

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.

Insights captured from KOL interactions represent a new way to identify and map the KOL landscape in which your brand must thrive. KOL identification and mapping is often driven by quantitative analytics looking at activity across publications, congresses, trials, social channels, and so forth. Although beneficial in many ways, this activity-driven approach by its very nature creates a limited view of KOLs which is based primarily on their past activity.

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.
