Optimizing Sample Logistics for Global Clinical Trials

A prominent, multinational pharmaceutical corporation with a diversified portfolio of therapeutic areas seeks to conduct a series of multi-center global clinical trials. Recognizing the complexities involved in managing sample logistics across various trial sites, the client requires comprehensive central laboratory sample management and logistics services.

The pharmaceutical corporation faces the intricate challenge of coordinating and managing sample logistics for multi-center global clinical trials across diverse geographic locations and varying regulatory environments—a difficulty similarly faced by small-to-midsize pharmaceutical entities, who may not have the robust resources to address these challenges. Ensuring the integrity, timely transportation, and efficient processing of samples from multiple sites to central laboratories is crucial for the success of nearly all trials.

The client approached Cenetron to execute testing for one sample set within a broad global clinical trial. Upon receiving the proposal, the Cenetron team identified significant efficiencies and cost savings by further leveraging Cenetron central lab services. Instead of the clientutilizing separate testing partners and conducting the data reconciliation internally, Cenetron proposed a send-out workflow to increase efficiencies in timing, shipping, project management and data reconciliation, thus easing the burden on the client.
