Philadelphia, USA – April 26, 2016. Utilizing traditional and innovative processes to optimize the clinical supply chain is the focus of the next PCI Pharma Services free seminar ëUpgrading Supply Chainsí. PCI is a leading provider of clinical trial supply services including drug development services, clinical trial manufacturing, packaging and labeling, as well as global storage and distribution of investigational medicines. The free seminar event will be held on Tuesday, May 17 in London.

Hosted by PCIís Clinical Services division in partnership with World Courier and Medical Research Network, the two-hour breakfast session will provide clinical trials professionals with the opportunity to learn more about:

  • Investigator-initiated trials made easy: Investigator-initiated trials are a vital part of improving patient care, and the complex considerations of manufacturing and packaging investigational medical products for use in these trials include planning, feasibility assessments, flexibility for trial variables, and funding – presented by PCIís Dr. Robbie Stewart
  • Fast track packing: The handling of adaptive clinical trial designs requires maximizing efficiencies and nimble and responsive supply, in order to deliver rapid packaging, labelling and distribution in clinical trials while maintaining flexibility of the drug product. The session will have a specific focus on innovations such as Fast Track and JiT and associated benefits (cost, time, compliancy and quality) – presented by PCIís Dr. Rhys Evans
  • Home trial support: Innovations are being implemented in a patient-centric approach to expedite clinical development, examining the key challenges of patient recruitment and retention and the impact of patient stress, time and regulatory considerations, as well as cost considerations within the context of complex clinical trials requiring more specific patient profiles – presented by World Courierís Dave Spillet, PCIís Gavin Morgan, and Stuart Redding from Medical Research Network.

The seminar is the latest in a series from PCIís program of events focusing on themes around optimizing clinical trial execution and commercial pharmaceutical supply.
