Introducing FedEx Clinical Care: our end-to-end solution for the distribution of clinical trial materials, including test medication, biological samples and kits.
- For pharmaceutical companies, running clinical trials is an essential step to successfully launching new medicines and pharma products.
- To comply with regulations, clinical trial logistics must offer end-to-end visibility, security and cold-chain protocol for time and temperature-sensitivity.
- Smart logistics networks are helping pharmaceutical companies deliver seamless and successful clinical trials.
All over the world, pharmaceutical companies are testing thousands of medical products to improve patient health and address medical conditions. Before they can be launched and sold, medical products need rigorous testing. That’s where clinical trials come in.
Clinical trial programs are critical for validating that new medicines and drugs are safe and effective. And it’s not just how the products are tested and manufactured.
Safe packaging and shipping are also required to deliver temperature-sensitive products without compromising quality or integrity. The same goes for the safe transportation of biological samples during clinical trials.
At FedEx, our team of healthcare experts has over two decades of experience managing clinical trial logistics. As a strategic logistics provider, we can ensure the safe, timely delivery of clinical trial materials.
By assuring the speed, quality and compliance pharma customers need today, we can help deliver hope and health to communities and patients around the world.
