Providing an accurate, matching placebo increases patient retention and satisfaction, thereby reducing your overall budgetary exposure and long term trial complexity.
Placebo Medication Planning & Design

By combining our clinical trial project management expertise and expansive global reach we are able to provide a clinical labeling model that integrates regulatory, packaging and clinical logistics capabilities to deliver improved timelines and more accurate allocation of clinical trial materials.
Active Medication Sourcing
& Management
A successful clinical trial is dependent on many factors, especially the effective planning and management of the clinical trial medication supply chain. Principally, study subjects enrolled in a trial must receive the right drug on schedule. While that overall goal is straightforward, what is often miscalculated is the insight and experience required to make that happen. The Clinical Supply Optimization Service is a comprehensive service designed to manage, optimize and streamline the clinical supply chain from early strategy development through the enrollment, maintenance, and closeout phases of a trial.
Ideally, a clinical supply chain manager gets involved very early in the planning of a clinical trial, even before the protocol is finalized. An experienced supply chain manager can quickly grasp the objective of the study and can make clinical supply-related recommendations on protocol content. Early engagement also ensures that package design is ideal (with the patient and the research in mind) and configured, and tested appropriately for optimal medication management. Early involvement allows for the distribution network to be proactively established so timelines for importation and any special handling requirements for the clinical supplies are established and tested before the trial begins. Finally, CTS will work with your team to accurately forecast medication needs during multi-year studies and ensure that outside market forces have minimal impact on your study supply chain and budgeting.
