When we were approached by a client to procure a critical shipment of comparator drugs from a single batch our team quickly went to work.

Knowing that the required product was unavailable in the UK, our team immediately began an audit of our European contacts. Discovering that the product was also currently unavailable in continental Europe, and with time a crucial factor, we secured a manufacturing slot in a European factory and arranged for the comparators to be produced on-spec and on-demand for our client.

Aware of the potential logistical and regulatory difficulties of this approach, our team oversaw the design and production of unique labelling, and arranged all necessary supporting documentation in good time. This meant that the product was ready for shipping to the UK almost as soon as it came off the production line.

On arrival into the UK the product’s only brief stop on the way to the trial site was in our warehouse, where it was quality assured by our team before being loaded back onto refrigerated transport for the short journey to the trial site.

The end result for our client? Their clinical trial was able to continue uninterrupted.
