IDIS CLINICAL TRIAL PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES A trusted source for all of your global comparator needs
WHAT YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED IT We typically source over 90% of comparators directly from the manufacturers themselves, many of whom we have worked with for nearly 30 years. Often, comparator procurement is approached reactively and transactionally. However, as clinical development becomes more complex and costly, the risks associated with this approach can increase substantially. There is a better and more secure way to access and manage comparator drugs procurement by working in a strategic partnership with Idis. We can add value and expertise to your clinical development programmes by developing reliable, cost-effective comparator solutions giving you choice and peace of mind. With our unrivalled ability to work with manufacturers to gain access to comparator drugs and our dedicated team of experienced specialists, we re well positioned to be an integral part of your comparator plan.

A REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE OF OUR STRATEGIC COMPARATOR SOURCING CAPABILITIES Situation A large global pharmaceutical company was conducting a global Phase 3 open label extension study for their promising new treatment option for patients with a specific form of cancer. They needed to source over 1,000 packs of a comparator product for each of four global regions using a staggered approach to minimize overage. Objectives Secure robust supply for the entire duration of the study, all regions (EU, ASIAPAC, LATAM and USA) Proactively identify new opportunities for strategic cost savings THE IDIS GLOBAL SINGLE SOURCE APPROACH SAVED OUR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY PARTNER MORE THAN $5 MILLION COMPARED TO THEIR BUDGET FOR THE SAME VOLUME OF PRODUCT.
Solution Idis secured a signed equivalency statement, thus allowing a global single source of the comparator We established a supply agreement directly with the manufacturer for the duration of the trial, mitigating supply risk Centralized control over product purchase was implemented in order to ensure global product consistency and compliance for the study Results The total comparator requirement for 13 countries was procured, stored and supplied by Idis in line with patient recruitment and was staggered across a 5-year span to minimize overage The Idis Global Single Source approach saved our Pharmaceutical company partner more than $5 million compared to their budget for the same volume of product We held the comparator product in Idis state-of-the-art warehouse facility, shipping directly to country sites when needed. This approach reduced overage and introduced significant operational efficiencies
