Clinical Logistics

A global CRO with world-class clinical logistics capabilities

Parexel Clinical Logistics is where clinical trial, regulatory, and logistics expertise meet. We offer integrated regulatory expertise, quality management, clinical trial execution, lab and sample management, drug supply, and ancillaries and medical devices, all under one roof. When clinical trial and logistics operations work together, processes are simplified, streamlined, and accelerated. Technology integrations are prebuilt. Handoffs are eliminated. Project management enables the convergence of GCP and GMP. 

Patients and sites: always our central focus

Our goal is to ensure that clinical trial patients receive the right treatment, on time, every time, and safely. Our integrated services include:

• Clinical trials supply
• Ancillary and device management
• Lab logistics services
• Global trade compliance

The intersection of technology, expertise, and global and local knowledge 

When participants are generous enough to provide biological samples for a study, we are responsible for handling them with care and caution. For example, we tie informed consent to samples collected for future biomedical use in the sample tracking software, ensuring that sponsors down the road can easily determine where samples are and what can be done with them.  With integrated locations worldwide, our approach is flexible and scalable. We can help with:

• Improved inventory control for all types of human biological samples starting at time of collection
• Consolidation of purchasing, storage, assembly, and transportation processes
• Common-sense shipping solutions to reduce the overall number of shipments, costs, and ultimately our carbon footprint
• Accurate supply forecasts, as well as sophisticated reporting on expiry dates and shipment status
• Country-by-country knowledge of import/export rules, avoiding complications such as bans on certain diagnostic and testing equipment
• Testing capabilities using our chain of lab partners
   

Strategically located depots across the globe

We reach sites and patients, wherever your trial is. Through our global network, Parexel can:

• Provide local or central sourcing of comparator and non-investigational medicinal products
• Coordinate investigational medicinal products (IMP) manufacturing to optimize material utilization, supply and resupply strategies, expiration dates, and costs
• Offer full-service and secondary clinical packaging for randomized, double-blind, or two/three-panel studies, as well as customized packaging design, customized secondary packaging, and patient supply kits
• Develop, translate, and distribute all the documentation for sites, investigators, or patients
• Receive, handle, and distribute IMP and ancillaries according to GMP regulation
