In clinical trials, patient safety is paramount and effective supply chain management is essential to ensuring every patient receives the right treatment at the right time. However, challenges such as complex inventory management, coordination across multiple stakeholders, regulatory compliance, and timely delivery can all affect patient safety and trial success.

This keynote will explore how to align clinical trial supply strategies with patient needs, lifestyles, and treatment schedules to enhance both patient experience and safety. Through best practice examples, panellists will discuss how the industry can move towards more patient-centred supply models.

Key discussion points include:

• Access and equity: Strategies for reducing barriers for underrepresented and remote patient populations.
• Compliance with compassion: Explore how to maintain Good Distribution Practice standards while prioritising patient comfort and safety.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Discuss the importance of bringing together clinical operations, logistics, and patient engagement teams to co-design more effective, patient-focused trial supply plans
