Clinical Trial Regulation (CTR) and the role of clinical supply chain transparency

Webinar Date
Webinar Time
11:00AM EST

The Clinical Trial Regulation will have an impressive impact on the clinical supply chain. It has been delayed, from its original launch date in May of 2016, and will soon become law in Europe.

The issue stemming from transparency has created a requirement to put retest dates on primary and secondary containers of Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP), required better data sharing of clinical trials and drove higher expectations of clinical supplies returns and reconciliation.

What you will learn:

  • Compare and contrast the Clinical Trial Directive with the Clinical Trial Regulation
  • Explain the impact of having to put retest dates on primary containers of IMP
  • Describe the reasons returns and reconciliation have become a key focus in the CTR
