The pandemic accelerated decentralized clinical trial design bringing therapies to patients’ homes, however various reports and statistics confirm global supply management using a historical centralized distribution approach suffered severe impacts due to COVID.

The impact was mostly surrounding kitting, ancillaries and equipment, which are critical to administering IMP and drawing specimens at local site level. IMP to a certain extent was less impacted with careful planning, other than disruption to airline flight schedules. Will sponsors and CRO’s revert to old CTSM ways, or has COVID revolutionized clinical trial study design forever in a post-pandemic world?.
