Managing supplies based on demand creates opportunities for savings and efficiencies in numerous areas, eliminating the high cost of waste as well as shortages that threaten timelines, budgets and even study integrity. Today’s trials involve more patients, more sites, more countries and more uncertainty than ever before. The number and complexity of issues affecting supply chains has also grown to include costly comparator drugs, intricate protocols, delicate investigative compounds, adaptive clinical trials, and variable dosing schemes. Added to the mix are increased regulation and country- specific approvals surrounding temperature-controlled drugs, packaging, shipping, and labeling. Challenging study variables and supply chain factors like these are difficult to manually manage and impossible to forecast using spreadsheets. And when the unexpected happens, whether underestimated country enrollment or an enrollment spike for instance, it can take significant human intervention and monetary resources to correct in time. Simulate Real-World Demand Scenarios Simulation enables planners to identify and mitigate potential supply crises at a global and site level before they happen. When live study data is imported, it allows for stock adjust- ments to be made, reducing the occurrence of mismatched clinical supplies and demand. It also eliminates associated costs of shipping overruns and subjects lost due to stock outs. Optimizer maximizes study efficiency and minimizes costs, even for studies involving supplies with special dosing or handling requirements, such as complicated titration, multi-variable dosing, comparators, temperature-sensitive drugs, limited supply situations, and other variables. Effectively managing this level of complexity can avert crises that lead to delayed studies and subject loss. Optimizer models unpredictable demand over time and uses this information to calculate drug quantity and when and where to ship it. Once maximum demand over time is known, minimum stock levels can be adjusted with confidence. Users are able to define floor (product amount needed to cover unpredictable site events) and ceiling (maximum product amount to be sent to a site) resupply settings.
