Bespoke RTSM Systems Empower Precision Medicine

By Malcolm Morrissey, Associate Director of Statistical Design & Trial Supplies Consultant, and Kendra Korte, Technical Solutions Consultant, Perceptive eClinical

Randomization & trial supply management (RTSM) are critical functions of the interactive response technology (IRT) systems used for clinical trials. Specifically, this system supports patient randomization as well as manages drug inventory, site resupply, and participant dispensation. However, applying standard IRT design to the specific needs of personalized medicine trials has been challenging.

Timely sharing of the right information with the right people is key to supply management and manufacturing, particularly in circumstances where production or shipments must be tailored to an individual patient's schedule or dosing needs. Accordingly, an RTSM system must provide an effective communication mechanism and support risk mitigation across numerous types of study design.

Having supported clinical trials for more than 30 years, spanning more 4,700 trials, Perceptive eClinical is uniquely suited to support sponsors executing trials that include personalized medicine elements — whether the trial explores a cell or gene therapy, radiopharmaceuticals, or any other treatment option once thought to be too complex for an RTSM system to accommodate.
