Best Practice for Unused Clinical Supplies – Protecting Value in Global Clinical Trials

Some redundant commercial drug products are the cost of supply continuity and peace of mind. The objective for all of us involved in supply chains is to distinguish ‘necessary protection’, from ‘avoidable loss’.
Balancing Comparator Spend and Supply Risk in Global Clinical Trial

Comparator spending has always come under scrutiny for companies running clinical trials, and rightfully so, as it often represents a very significant portion of a budget.
The Increasing Complexity of Clinical Trials and How it Impacts Comparator Supply

Clinical trial designs are becoming increasingly complex, driven by adaptive protocols, precision medicine, expanding global footprints, and accelerating development timelines. As studies evolve, traditional comparator sourcing approaches are being challenged in new ways.
Why Comparator Strategy Starts at Protocol Design

A clinical trial protocol has to take many things into consideration, and the way that the comparator drug is listed is perhaps one of the simpler (or at least shorter) parts of a very detailed and involved document. As a result, the importance of it can be overlooked.
