   Follow one CDMO's collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific to combat supply chain risks after one of the high-volume raw materials critical to their manufacturing process experienced a global shortage.

3. Cryobag Container Development For Cell & Gene Therapies 12/8/2022

   ISR Reports addresses the logistical challenges faced by developers of cell and gene therapies regarding cold chain and cryopreservation.

4. A Smart Solution To Clinical Supply Management 10/28/2022

   Delve into a solution that ensures the efficient delivery of trial materials worldwide, while navigating the challenges of more complex study designs and the ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

5. Transforming From Supply-Led To A Demand-Led Model To Support Commercial Gene Therapies 8/3/2021

   In gene therapies supply chains, the focus is entirely patient-centric and the ‘volumes’ can often be as low as 1 dose per batch/lot, so the supply and distribution model needs to be much more flexible and precise.

6. Shipping Temperatures For Cell Therapies 5/14/2021

   Cryopreserved cells are often stored at a central facility before being shipped to the clinical location. This study explores the required shipping and storage temperatures for cryogenic cold chain delivery of biological samples.

7. Liquid Nitrogen-Free Cryopreservation For Sustainability 4/5/2021

   Discover the environmental implications of using liquid nitrogen for cell freezing, along with carbon emissions during the manufacture, transportation, and operation of LN₂-free controlled-rate freezers.

8. Managing Complex Global Drug Distribution And Expiry 1/12/2021

   A global top-ten pharma company sponsored a complex, 8-year Phase III trial across 43 countries. As costs mounted and supplies waned, it realized the trial could be better managed if outsourced. 

9. Delivering Clinical Trial Medications Direct-To-Patient 10/15/2020

   In recent years, the direct-to-patient model, which brings medical procedures to a patient’s home, has emerged as a solution for sponsors to increase patient recruitment and retention in clinical trials.

10. How To Select The Best Courier Around The Globe 6/15/2020

    As a leading biotechnology company's pipeline and global presence continued to grow, management of the supply chain presented challenges.
