As major world events continue to unfold, every organization is contending with supply chain disruptions. Challenges with Clinical Trial Ancillary Supply Chain (CTASC™) are not going away. Ancillare remains at the forefront of supply chain innovation, and stays committed to helping Sponsors overcome setbacks and achieve their clinical trial milestones.

Today’s clinical research environment requires cooperation and insight across countless organizations, teams, and specialists. More and more, Sponsors are turning to trusted third parties with high levels of expertise to make their trials run effectively.

A lack of correct ancillary supplies can be the difference between a clinical trial starting on time or having to delay at significant cost to the sponsor. The Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated what would already be a difficult task of sourcing and purchasing trial equipment. Ancillare CEO Joanne Santomauro explains how the situation developed and how her company stayed ahead of the curve and minimised the impact of shortages in the supply chain.
