Improving Site Efficiency With Automated Drug Resupply And Forecasting

By Casey Doyle

Clinical sites carry much of the operational weight in clinical trials—juggling recruitment, compliance, data integrity, and participant safety while managing complex supply chains. Manual tracking and forecasting of drug inventory only add to the strain, leaving room for delays, waste, and protocol deviations. Interactive Response Technology (IRT) can transform site operations by replacing error-prone manual processes with real-time, automated systems. From predictive resupply that prevents stockouts and overages to protocol-driven logic that ensures compliant dispensing, IRT empowers sites to focus less on spreadsheets and more on participant care.

By alleviating administrative burdens and embedding intelligence into supply management, IRT and broader eClinical solutions create a foundation for efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. For clinical sites under constant pressure, the shift from manual oversight to automated precision may be the key to unlocking both operational success and better patient outcomes. Learn more about how IRT adapts seamlessly to protocol amendments, evolving enrollment trends, and diverse trial designs, ensuring uninterrupted dosing and regulatory compliance throughout the study.
