Cell and Gene Logistics

  1. Low Risk Frozen Distribution Of Single-Use Bags For Bioprocessing 9/21/2020

    This paper will discuss the results of applying an approach using sensors and more suitable material to a frozen shipping study of single-use fluoropolymer bags.

  2. Considerations For Your First Clinical Trial 9/15/2020

    It's important to understand that CROs do not typically manage the comprehensive clinical trial supply chain. This paper reviews seven ‘clinical trial supply best practices’ to help ensure a successful trial.

  3. Factoring The “What Ifs” Into Supply Forecasting 8/24/2020

    This paper discusses considerations for developing a supply plan, the influence of early decisions and impact on outcome as a trial progresses, and how decisions can put patients and the trial at risk.

  4. VIA Capsule System: Liquid Nitrogen-Free Shipping For Cell Therapy Logistics 8/4/2020

    This video presentation illusstrates a more controlled, assured, and patient-focused approach to shipping cell and gene therapies with the VIA Capsule solution. 

  5. Cell Therapy Logistics: Advanced Therapy Treatment Case Study 8/4/2020

    This case study describes work the establishment and testing of a cryogenic logistics pathway for an allogeneic Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP).

  6. A Modern Take On Cell Therapy Logistics 7/31/2020

    Here are my highlights on an International Society of Cellular Therapy (ISCT) 2020 session that introduced a new way to ship and transport cellular materials, putting patients front and center.

  7. Key Considerations For Cryogenic Preservation And T Cell Viability 7/31/2020

    Illustrating how mammalian cells change when frozen, we offer cryopreservation strategies and identify temperatures at which it's safe to stop controlled cooling and transfer drug product to cryogenic storage.

  8. Risk Mitigation For Single-Use Cold Chain Distribution 7/7/2020

    Study data shows the utility of low temperature suitable materials and packaging,  sensors for monitoring shipments, and qualification and evaluation through simulated standards and real-world transit.

  9. Ancillary Supplies: Clinical Trial ‘Must-Haves’ That Require Early Planning 6/30/2020

    Ancillary supplies are a necessary component in every clinical trial, though these products are often perceived as secondary in importance to investigational medicinal products (IMPs). Janet Williams, senior director, global supply chain management, and Julie Hoffman, senior director of commercial strategy and execution, discuss why ancillaries are as essential as IMPs, and why sponsors should devote as much attention to early planning for ancillary supplies as they do for study drugs.

  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. Additionally, cost pressures demanded a tighter supply chain with better control over inventory levels, and there was a need for increased temperature monitoring of clinical supplies in transit. Learn how data-driven decisions allowed them to realize cost & performance improvements across the supply chain.
