Every clinical trial is unique. Your clinical trial supply chain management strategy should reflect the specific needs of your protocol, with efficiency, compliance, and real-time visibility throughout the process.
Our Clinical Trial Supplies & Logistics (CTS&L) team always puts their heart into ensuring that the right supplies get to the right sites and patients at the right time. Parexel’s new state-of-the-art coordination hub and distribution center will help you efficiently manage clinical supply logistics. We take a comprehensive approach to clinical logistics to ensure clinical trial supplies, ancillary supplies, and central lab services are delivered on time and within budget.
Whether conducting a small regional or a complex global trial, the trial requires a robust supply chain network that includes country-specific knowledge and a close connection to local authorities. Parexel provides the knowledge, systems, and connections to provide end-to-end clinical trial supply chain management.
Our services are designed to reduce site efforts so they can focus on patient care versus logistical concerns. Parexel’s combined innovative patient-centric recruitment strategy and site-centric management model accelerates drug development timelines, increases patient access to clinical trials, and enables home participation for decentralized trials.
Our global state-of-the-art coordination hubs and distribution centers can help you more efficiently manage your clinical trial supplies.
Parexel’s continued investments in its Asia-Pacific capabilities and clinical trial supplies and logistics offerings are an extension of the company’s Patients-First focus in ensuring that clinical sites and patients have timely access to the supplies and medications they need and that they are safely handled at all points in their journey.

Vincent Santa Maria, Vice President, Worldwide Clinical Trial Materials & Depot Operations, Parexel:
Parexel’s ability to support decentralized trials through our depot network offers the sponsors and the regulatory authorities the commonality, consistency in what we do and the way in which we execute. So, from incoming good, to the flow of the material, to the actual packaging, the storage and distribution, no matter where it came from, a North American distribution center, Brazil, or any of our facilities, it was prepared in the same compliant manner.
Each of our depot operations consist of very similar capabilities. From a harmonized environmental monitoring system, that’s the actual management of the facility, to tell us at any point in time that the temperature conditions within the controlled ambient, the refrigerator space which is 2 to 8 degrees, the freezer areas, and our ultra-low freezers themselves. It is a very key and critical factor within clinical trials.
We have an inventory management system which is an electronic system. Which tracks and traces the materials as it come into our facility, throughout our facility as it changed from a work in process to finish good, to the actual deliverable, to the site, and ultimately to the patient.
Because Parexel has both the clinical operations as well as the depot operations in-house we have the ability to source material locally or globally. It’s the understanding of the protocol. It’s the understanding of the execution. Parexel depot model underpins the compliance of the clinical trial. It could by my mother, my father, my child that’s going to have such a need.
So, we all come to work with that mindset, to improve the quality of life, to improve that unmet need, to deliver the right drug, right patient, on time. Always with that ultimate care of patient safety, it’s at the forefront of what we do.
