Clinical Trials

Supply Chain

Introduction
We know how valuable your clinical trials are - in both human and financial terms. Most temperature excursions happen at clinical sites. Primary, secondary and storage monitoring is often done in silos, which is an inefficient use of stability data. When an excursion happens at the last stage, manual scrambling of earlier data takes time and products need manual quarantine handling in the IRT.  
Excursion Management: from days to seconds
Automated Temperature Excursion Analysis
Reduce manual workload and response times from days to seconds with automated temperature monitoring, saving time and cutting costs for high-value clinical trial products.
End-to-End Compliance & Patient Safety
Ensure full GxP compliance with real-time documentation while protecting patient safety by guaranteeing product viability through rapid excursion assessments.
Seamless Integration & Scalability
Easily integrate with SSO, IRT/RTSM, and CTMS systems while maintaining flexibility with a logger-agnostic solution that scales with your organization’s evolving needs.

We understand that in clinical trials, maintaining the integrity of investigational products is critical—not just for patient safety, but for the success of the study itself. Temperature excursions can compromise product stability, delay dispenses, and risk the validity of trial results. That’s why our cloud-based, automated monitoring solutions are designed to protect temperature-sensitive products throughout the supply chain—from depot to site. We help you safeguard product value, uphold protocol integrity, and deliver reliable outcomes for patients and sponsors alike.

Fit for Purpose: Temperature-Sensitive Clinical Trial Kits

Clinical studies vary in complexity and requirements—which is why we offer a range of temperature monitoring solutions to fit different study designs and operational setups. Whether you're running early-phase trials, global studies, or managing decentralized sites, we’ll help you identify the solution that best aligns with your needs, based on your protocols, infrastructure, and regulatory priorities.

End-to-end Clinical Trials Monitoring

TSS Clinical Module is an end-to-end solution, designed for the clinical trial supply chain. It aggregates data from pre-shipment, shipment, and storage on kit- or dispensing unit level (DUN) and compares it to stability data through an integration with the IRT/RTSM. This way drugs can automatically be released, or put in quarantine for further investigation. It is a cloud-based application that is technology agnostic, supporting a wide range of industry in-transit and storage loggers and integrations.

Reduces time for excursion management in clinical trials, from days to seconds

The benefits are many: less time spent on excursion handling for clinical sites and quality departments, minimized risk for manual errors and increased patient safety, timely completion of clinical trials and reduction of wasted products. The solution provide total peace of mind, ensuring safe storage and delivery to the patient.

Key Benefits:

  • Full visibility from shipment to site to monitor temperature data across transit and storage, providing end-to-end stability tracking on a kit level.
  • Automated excursion handling and release for comparing accumulated temperature exposure to stability budgets and enable instant, automated release decisions.
  • Improved efficiency and patient access to reduces delays, manual workload, and the risk of patient dropouts by ensuring kits are released faster and reliably.

Ideal For:

  • Mid to large-scale clinical trials where maintaining consistency, traceability, and speed across multiple sites and countries is critical.
  • Temperature-sensitive investigational products requiring strict control and audit-ready documentation across both shipping and storage.
  • Sponsors focused on reducing trial delays and improving patient dispense rates through faster product release and minimized operational bottlenecks.

Manual Studies Plug-In for Clinical Trials Without RTSM

The Manual Studies plug-in in the TSS Clinical Module is designed to extend temperature monitoring and excursion management to early-phase or clinical trials that operate without an RTSM system. It provides a structured, compliant way to manage temperature-sensitive data, ensuring consistent oversight across all study types.

Key Benefits:

  • RTSM-free temperature monitoring and excursion handling.
  • Consistent processes across study types to standardize temperature workflows for early-phase and trials without randomization.
  • Audit-ready and GxP-compliant to deliver validated data and full traceability to support regulatory requirements.

Ideal For:

  • Early-phase clinical trials where full system integration is not yet in place but temperature oversight is still critical.
  • Investigator-initiated and pilot studies that require compliant temperature monitoring without the complexity of an RTSM system.
  • Sponsors seeking consistency across the portfolio by applying unified temperature monitoring standards regardless of study size or setup.
