Comparator Drug Sourcing Solutions: Network Effects

A well-known, mid-size, multi-national pharmaceutical company needed a large supply of comparator drug, in order to begin comparative clinical trials for a rare disease. In addition to quantity, the comparator drug must have an expiry-term long enough for the client to complete the multi-year clinical trials. Unfortunately, the comparator drug presented two enormous hurdles: it was limited in supply and was exceptionally expensive.

Hearing of our problem-solving capabilities in this area, the company contacted Catalent. Ultimately, through our network and communications capabilities, the client was able to obtain the necessary quantities of the comparator drug on time and at a reasonable cost.
