Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Inaugural

Clinical Supply Management

Effective Tracking, Managing and Distributing Clinical Supplies
February 14-15, 2018 | Hyatt Regency Orlando | Orlando, FL

Successful, patient-centric clinical trials depend upon streamlined clinical trial supply processes that ensure that the study drug is properly handled and delivered to the right patient whether at the trial site, pharmacy or in their home. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Inaugural Clinical Supply Management conference offers case studies and practical solutions from across pharma focusing on effective clinical supply management from handling the study drug to direct-to-patient distribution.

This presentation will discuss: 1. Exploring methods through which IRT technology can improve clinical supply logistics, 2. Pinpointing how IRT technology can be set up to improve your logistical planning, 3. Exploring the benefits of creating your own in-house IRT system versus using a base-line vendor model, 4. Recognizing the value of IRT in clinical supply ordering and distribution, and 5. Emphasizing ways through which IRT systems can become more effective for your different trials.

9:25 IRT Data Integration Provides Big Benefits

Aaron Harlett, Director, Supply Chain Systems and Related Services, Eli Lilly and Company

It’s obvious an IRT makes conducting a clinical trial more efficient and secure; from study drug forecasting and distribution to treatment group assignment and blinding. But using an IRT can provide benefits in many other aspects of trial execution. IRT allows near real-time data capture that can seamlessly integrate with multiple systems and functions while safeguarding sensitive data through automation. And combining data from an IRT with patient data from other systems can allow information alignment and facilitate reconciliation. And sharing a consistent data flow from an IRT can reduce vendor cost and play a critical role in bringing an asset to market in less time.

9:50 Eliminating Peepholes into Blinded Clinical Trials

Gayle_Flynn Gayle Flynn, MA, Director, Cognizant Life Sciences Consulting, Interactive Response Technology Practice, Cognizant

As Clinical Ops professionals, we consider conducting blinded clinical trials a core competency. Then one day unexpectedly, we receive an email that someone believes they can tell the treatment allocation of patients in a trial that seemingly was not at risk for unblinding. This session will review the points to consider when setting up studies to ensure the blind is adequately maintained throughout the clinical supply chain.
