ResearchMoz Research, leading business intelligence provider has released its latest research report, entitled Clinical Supply Chain Management Technologies such as IVRS, CTMS, EDC and RFID Enhance Drug Supply Management. The report focuses on the current scenario of clinical supply chain management. Key segments of the clinical supply chain which are covered in the report include labeling, packaging, warehousing, logistics, distribution and destruction of investigational products. There has been an increase in the number of developmental drugs, and an expansion in clinical trial sites and the complexity of clinical trials. There has also been an increase in the total number of procedures undertaken per clinical trial. Clinical Supply Chain Management (CSCM) is vital in conducting clinical trials. Geographic expansion, the complexity of drugs used in clinical trials and the increased attention of pharmaceutical companies on efficient R&D are the three main reasons for having proper CSCM in place. Accurate and timely delivery of clinical trial material to the clinical trial site is critical for the success of a clinical trial. The chance of meeting the research milestones increases by considering clinical supply processes from the planning stage of the clinical trials.

1. Clinical Supply Chain Management - Technologies such as IVRS, CTMS, EDC and RFID Enhance Drug
Supply Management
GBI Research, leading business intelligence provider has released its latest research report, entitled Clinical
Supply Chain Management Technologies such as IVRS, CTMS, EDC and RFID Enhance Drug Supply
Management. The report focuses on the current scenario of clinical supply chain management. Key segments
of the clinical supply chain which are covered in the report include labeling, packaging, warehousing,
logistics, distribution and destruction of investigational products.
There has been an increase in the number of developmental drugs, and an expansion in clinical trial sites and
the complexity of clinical trials. There has also been an increase in the total number of procedures undertaken
per clinical trial.
Clinical Supply Chain Management (CSCM) is vital in conducting clinical trials. Geographic expansion, the
complexity of drugs used in clinical trials and the increased attention of pharmaceutical companies on efficient
R&D are the three main reasons for having proper CSCM in place. Accurate and timely delivery of clinical
trial material to the clinical trial site is critical for the success of a clinical trial. The chance of meeting the
research milestones increases by considering clinical supply processes from the planning stage of the clinical
trials.
Although there are many advantages of tracking clinical trial products, it is very difficult to have an efficient
process in place to track inventory. Use of new technologies is done to make tracking more efficient and
effective. Pharmaceutical companies are looking for better avenues, such as Contract Research Organizations
(CROs) who have dedicated departments that leverage information technology to rejuvenate their business
model, particularly R&D, and make it more agile, lean and global. Information technology provides
significant potential to make this happen through various services, which include globally integrated data
management, paperless clinical trials and many others.
Scope
