Clinical supplies refer to the materials and products used in clinical trials and medical research. These supplies can include medications, medical devices, and other necessary items that support the study's objectives. Proper management of clinical supplies is crucial to ensure that trials run smoothly and safely. The process of managing clinical supplies involves sourcing, packaging, labeling, and distributing these items to research sites. Organizations often rely on specialized companies to handle logistics and ensure compliance with regulations set by authorities like the FDA or EMA. This helps maintain the integrity of the trial and the safety of participants.
