Ancillary Supplies

Due to the rise in complexity of many trials, the degree of ancillary supplies and the number of vendors needed to produce them has increased significantly.

In addition to supplying the trial drug, clinical trials require a host of other supplies including diagnostic and testing equipment, centrifuges, disposable products, refrigerators, and ECG machines. 

Each site is required to be equipped with various trial documents, including site reference manuals, investigator literature, Case Report Forms (CRFs), and trial procedures.

Transporting these supplies requires extensive knowledge of same country-by-country import/export rules regarding drug supplies as well as understanding additional complications such as import bans on  certain diagnostic and testing equipment. PAREXEL’s experienced local resources find domestic suppliers for this equipment, ensuring suppliers meet the required quality standards.
