Case Study: Comparator Sourcing & Procurement
Investigator-Sponsored Research: Multi-Study Clinical Trial Supply
4 Studies. 2 Countries. 1 Coordinated Supply Program.
The Challenge
A pharmaceutical sponsor needed a reliable clinical supply partner to support four concurrent investigator-sponsored research (ISR) studies across two countries, all involving a chemotherapy drug supplied in vials. Enrollment ranged from 40 to up to 800 patients per study, each with its own drug volumes, timelines, and protocol requirements. Each study needed its own controlled inventory, compliant temperature management, and site distribution, while the sponsor needed one partner managing all four consistently, with full visibility from receipt through close-out.
Our Approach
Tanner built a centralized clinical supply framework across all four studies: study-specific specifications per protocol, run on one consistent operational model. That meant temperature-controlled storage (20°C–25°C) and transport (15°C–30°C) to approved ISR sites, import/export coordination across the two-country network, and continuous drug accountability, batch documentation, and reporting through to final reconciliation and archiving at close-out.
The result: one coordinated supply model, supporting more than 1,300 patients and 1,768+ vials supplied across the program with a single point of accountability and uninterrupted cold-chain integrity.
