Plan Your Clinical Trial Logistics and Set Goals

Delivering trial drugs safely to participants requires a great deal of planning. You need to identify how to meet the shipping regulations of the country where the trial drugs will be supplied, plan for customs clearance, optimal packaging conditions to maximize safety, and determine how to manage inventory efficiently. You should also plan for how the drugs will be tracked until they reach the final destination.

Be Realistic With Your Schedule

It’s easy to overestimate your abilities when it comes to making deliveries. Since trial drugs are special packages that require careful handling at every stage of delivery, you need to ensure that your delivery schedule accounts for this. You may be required to take longer with the delivery to ensure the packages are delivered in optimal condition.

Communication Is Key

Communication is of great importance when you are handling the deliveries of trial drugs. You must maintain ongoing communication with all key stakeholders in the supply chain. Make sure that all the teams are communicating efficiently, and this will significantly help you to ensure smooth delivery with every batch.

Provide 24-Hour Technical Assistance

While proper planning can help you avoid many potential problems in clinical trial logistics, you can never completely rule out hiccups. Always ensure that you have a personnel on ground to help with any issue encountered by the delivery team.

Endnote

Healthcare and pharmaceutical deliveries are often sensitive and have to be handled properly. When you are tasked with delivering trial drugs safely to participants in different locations, you have to treat them with utmost care and concern. The six tips discussed here can help you deliver in the most effective way.
