Reducing Drug Waste through IRT- View on Demand

Reducing Drug Waste through IRT

A large proportion of the cost of implementing a clinical trial is attributable to the production and management of medication. As medical products have become more expensive to produce, there’s been increased focus on reducing the quantity of medication overage required to conduct clinical trials and cover the inherent variabilities in patient recruitment and retention that occur during clinical trial execution.

In this webinar we review how, by applying advanced IRT settings to control the supply chain, medication can be directed to recruiting sites only and amounts shipped to those sites can be reduced to the minimum, overall limiting the quantity of medication wasted at site.

We’ll discuss how strategies such as recruitment-based supply strategies, randomization code look ahead, and fractional prediction can be used to reduce drug wastage and overall trial costs based on different protocol designs, supply chain structure, and complexities.
