Ensuring patient safety in clinical trials is paramount, especially regarding drug safety and efficacy. The journey of the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) is complex, with multiple stops before reaching the patient, highlighting the importance of the drug supply chain. Temperature tracking devices are now standard to monitor shipments and storage conditions in real-time, improving oversight. However, clinical trial site staff still grapple with managing multiple technology systems and establishing effective communication channels with the study team. This session focuses on:

• Automated Precision for Real-Time Insights: Technology enables real-time monitoring of drug shipments and storage conditions, crucial for maintaining patient safety and drug efficacy throughout the supply chain.
• Streamlined Processes Reduce Administrative Burden: Integrating communication solutions between on-site logger technology and the Randomization and Trial Supply Management (RTSM) system reduces administrative burden, enhancing efficiency and allowing staff to prioritize patient care.
• Preventive Measures Against Human Error: The joint-solution presented serves as a robust preventive measure against human error, enhancing assurance regarding drug efficacy and patient safety by automating communication and data monitoring.
