Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer
|
The world of packaging today finds itself uncomfortably in the manufacturing industry spotlight. On the one side, it faces a seemingly continuous, complex and costly stream of new legislation and regulation, such as the new rules for child-proofing blister packs that come into force this autumn. On the other, it is a major target for senior management teams that are seeking, with increasing urgency, to identify and extract significant cost-efficiencies ahead of the impending 2010 deadline by which many patents will expire. Packaging is expected to provide a major source of competitive advantage, improving performance, availability and consistency by as much as 50 per cent while retaining a motivated and healthy customer base.
'Catch 22' or a 'Third Way'
Many pharmaceutical manufacturers who opt to conduct packaging operations in-house are confronted with a 'catch 22' situation. Do they invest sufficiently to create the capacity and flexibility necessary to meet high seasonable demand variability? Or do they try to manage the consequences of a disrupted distribution chain to market?

4th Annual Patient Recruitment and Retention in Clinical Trials
13-15 October 2008, Amsterdam
Patient recruitment
is now consuming thirty percent of clinical trial time - more time than any
other clinical trial activity - and almost half of all trial delays result from
patient recruitment problems.
As the
recruiting culture becomes more sophisticated and the forces affecting patient
enrollment grow more numerous and complex, pharmaceutical companies are
striving to discover new strategies to facilitate enrollment in clinical
trials.
With
increasing industry pressure to develop, test and market greater numbers of new
drugs faster, pharmaceutical companies need to perform clinical trials as
quickly as possible. Inefficient patient recruitment processes is a formidable
barrier to pharmaceutical companies' success in launching new products.
Improving the patient recruitment process is imperative to avoid wasted
investments and eliminate costly delays in bringing new drugs to market --
today and even more so in the not-so-distant future. Improved patient
recruitment presents one of the largest opportunities for pharmaceutical
companies to eliminate delays in clinical trials, thereby making it possible to
reduce time to market. With patent time limits and large overheads
meaning that any delays in the development timeline can be disastrous, a good
understanding of how to successfully recruit patients for trials is vital for
any company looking to succeed.
