Building an effective clinical supply chain that factors in the increasing challenge of getting the necessary drug to the patient in a timely manner has never been so important.
To accommodate the scale and complexity of today’s clinical trials, sponsors require a sophisticated and responsive supply chain that provides agility, speed and control of which accurately forecasting patient need is critical to delivering a successful trial.
The number and complexity of variables affecting supply forecasting has grown to include intricate protocol design (e.g. blinding, variable dosing, cohort expansion), increased costs of investigative and comparator drugs, patient recruitment challenges and increased regulatory requirements.
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand the fundamentals of clinical supply forecasting and the role of technology
- Learn how forecasting systems are able to transform supply and patient data into real-time actionable insights and drive informed decision making
- Gain insight into the importance of both control and flexibility in cohort management
- Identify the critical success factors of demand planning and forecasting as well as ways to improve your end-to-end clinical supply chain strategy
This webinar will discuss how by leveraging supply forecasting and demand planning technology, sponsors are able to create optimized and flexible supply chain operations while mitigating risk, preventing site stock-outs, reducing waste, and controlling cost.
