Bespoke Packaging and Labelling for Clinical Trials
RxSource package kits to specific patient requirements in as little as 48 hours from the receipt of order.
Avoid Shelf-Life Extension
By packaging on receipt of order, the best possible expiration date can be applied to each kit, reducing the need for future shelf-life extension labelling.
Potential to Resell Unused Material
By not packaging until there is demand, we can store comparator products in their original commercial package. As it has not been manipulated, RxSource can help resell any material that isn’t used.
Optimizing your supply with demand-led and just-in-time (JIT) packaging and labelling solutions
On average, 71% of all packaged kits never end up being dispensed to patients*. This can lead to a significant amount of clinical trial waste, which can have a huge impact on a clinical trial budget and carbon footprint.
The solution? Utilizing one of our flexible solutions reduces the amount of product wastage, relieving clinical sites from large storage burdens, while providing cost savings. We provide two on-demand models; Demand-led packaging and Just-in-time (JIT).
Demand-Led Packaging
Demand-Led packaging is when the product is packaged, labelled, released and distributed after the point of order from the clinical site. There are several benefits to this option including reducing waste, increased flexibility, inventory optimization, and reduced costs. It also allows commercial products to stay in their commercial packs until the last possible moment, if the product isn’t used, it can potentially be resold, further improving efficiency and minimizing unnecessary loss.
Just-In-Time (JIT) Packaging
JIT packaging is where product is packaged to a semi-finished state and quality released, before an order is placed from the clinical site. Once the order is received, the product is then labelled with a JIT specific label, quality released and shipped to the clinical site. Orders can be shipped within 48 hours of receipt of an order by utilizing this model.
Packaging at the point of despatch offers a major advantage for short-dated IMPs, as it allows the best possible expiry date to be applied to the kit. This greatly increases the chances of avoiding the significant costs, complexity, and site management associated with shelf-life extensions. When using a JIT label, expiry dates can be applied at the last minute, but JIT labelling can also cover other critical details, such as site-specific information, patient IDs, or protocol numbers. This flexibility enables pooled supply across multiple sites or studies—a huge advantage that helps optimize inventory, reduce waste, and improve responsiveness.
At RxSource, we understand each clinical trial is different and create a tailored solution for each study including a hybrid of traditional and flexible solutions. A robust supply chain is key to the success of a trial.
Last quarter alone, we were able to positively impact the lives of 44,500 patients. Our goal is to improve the lives of 10 million patients in 10 years. Contact us today to learn more about how we can work together to make a meaningful impact.
