The total R&D investment of bringing a new product to market has been estimated to be close to £400 million. All new products need go through clinical trials and every stage of a clinical trial involves logistics. The effective transport of clinical trials to investigator sites, and patient samples back to central laboratories are critical if a product is to be launched on time and within budget. Delays are expensive and even a few days could potentially cost millions of pounds. The pressure of bringing drugs to market quickly and cheaply, has lead to many clinical trials now being carried out in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin American. Each country has its own guidelines which can be highly regulated, so it is crucial to understand the complexities of shipping materials to a variety of destinations.
SMi’s 2nd Annual Clinical Trials Logistics conference will address these concerns and provide you with the tools to safely and efficiently resolve your clinical trials logistical challenges on a global scale. This conference will also analyse the latest developments in packaging, labelling, security, modelling and outsourcing.
