• How BioPharm Can Help
• Q&A
Trends in Clinical Supply Management
• Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly partnering with service providers to manage their supply chain – Moving from one-off interactions to
partnership-based relationships
• Supply chain organizational structure is becoming increasingly complex – More trials, more regulations, more regions, more resources
• Increase in cold-chain distribution – Due to shift from small- to large-molecule drugs
• Accurate supply forecasting becoming even more important
Challenges in Clinical Supply Management
• Accurate forecasting – Often rely on overages instead of proper forecasting
• Regulatory issues – Keeping up to date on requirements
– Region-specific rules (import/export regulations, labeling, packaging)
• Lack of performance metrics
• Service provider selection and management – Tracking qualifications
• Supply chain communication – Especially between sponsors and site personnel
Typical Clinical Supply Management Process
• Manage and schedule shipments from manufacturer to depots or directly to sites
Manufacturer
• Store product until ready to ship to site
Depot • Receive shipment,
record quantities received, used, spoiled, destroyed, etc.
Site
• Send remaining product to sponsor for destruction
Sponsor
• Quantities and Metrics
– # Units Shipped
– # Units Used
– # Units Destroyed
– # Units Returned
– % Used vs. % Destroyed
• Package Type / Contents
– Ancillary Supplies
– Investigational Product
– Comparator Product
Types of Clinical Supply Data Tracked
• Dates and More Metrics
– Needed On-site Date
– Expiration Date
– Site Receipt Date
– Return Date
– # Days Late/Early
– Shipment Turn Around
• IDs and Numbers
– Shipment #, Serial #, Part #, Lot #
• Storage and Handling Requirements
Types of Clinical Supply Data Tracked (cont)

backups and restores, more scalable, can be
integrated with other systems
– Validations and auto-calculations prevent human error
Clinical Supply Tracking Approaches
1. Siebel Clinical out-of-the-box (OOTB)
2. Tracking with simple enhancements
3. Tracking with medium enhancements
4. Tracking with robust enhancements
1. Siebel Clinical OOTB
• Setup
– Use existing Activities and Document Tracking views
under a site to manage supplies and supply documents
– Add supply-specific LOVs to differentiate from other site
activity and document records
• How It Works
– Supplies and shipments
• Create a site activity record in CTMS
• Select activity type of “Inventory”
• Enter info such as quantity and lot number in
Description field
1. Siebel Clinical OOTB (cont)
• Pros
– No additional cost
– Quick to implement
• Cons
– Tracked with other all non-inventory site activities; could
be confusing
– All information tracked under a generic description field,
making querying and reporting difficult
2. Simple Enhancements
• Setup – Use existing Activities view under a site to track and
manage supplies
– Add inventory and supply-specific LOVs to differentiate from other site activities record
– Add additional fields to Activities view to track inventory-specific data
• How It Works – Create a site activity record in CTMS
– Select activity type of “Inventory”
– Enter info, such as quantity and lot number, into corresponding fields
2. Simple Enhancements (cont)
• Pros
– Inexpensive
– Quick to implement
– Slightly easier to query for and report on inventory-
specific data
• Cons
– Tracked with other all non-inventory site activities; could
be confusing
Demo
3. Medium Enhancements
• Setup
– Create a new view under Site Management to track
and manage supplies
– Add customized fields to track inventory-specific data
• How It Works
– Navigate to supply management view under a site in
CTMS
– Create an inventory tracking record
– Enter info, such as quantity and lot number, in
corresponding fields
3. Medium Enhancements (cont)
• Pros
– Easier to track, query for, and report on inventory
records when housed under separate views and fields
– Works well for ancillary supplies too
• Cons
– Only captures inventory level at the site
– Does not include inventory level at manufacturer or
depot
Demo
4. Robust Enhancements
• Setup
– Create new screens & views to track
• Manufacturer & depot
• Inventory transactions that occur between the depot and site
• Inventory levels at each depot and site
• How It Works
– Create manufacturer and depot records
– Record outbound transactions under manufacturer or
depot as they occur
– Track inventory information for depots and sites, such
as dates, number of units received, and number of units
destroyed
4. Robust Enhancements (cont)
• Pros
– Robust inventory tracking at depot and site level
– Increased inventory level visibility at depot and site
– Optimal querying and reporting capability
– Complete traceability
• Cons
– More effort involved to implement
– Not ideal for tracking ancillary supplies
Demo
