背景

  • Phase III study evaluating the efficacy of 2 different doses of active drug compared with placebo
  • 500 patients
  • 80+ sites participating across six countries
  • Site stratification

挑战

  • IMP was very expensive, so ensuring patient supply while limiting overage was critical
  • Storage of medication was limited for many sites

Solution:

  • Calyx RTSM experts recommended “randomization prediction,” one of our advanced trial supply management options; this sends only the exact medication a site will use for upcoming patient randomization
  • Traditional IRT solutions base site stock levels on the expected number of randomizations and the amount of medication used for each treatment group
  • With randomization prediction, Calyx IRT sends medication to each site based on upcoming treatment group assignments known from the randomization list
  • Calyx RTSM experts worked with the sponsor to understand the expected site recruitment rates and recommended a range of supply strategies including low, medium, and high recruiter

We determined how many randomization list records’ worth of medication would be covered per supply strategy

结果

  • Randomization prediction ensured a reduction in overage by removing the buffer
  • The stock required to be shipped to the site was reduced, as shipments contained specific medication for randomization assignments
  • Patients had the right drug at the right time

Randomization Prediction

Randomization prediction is one of Calyx IRT’s advanced trial supply management options; a flexible approach that can be tailored to specific protocol requirements & supply criteria.

If your study stratifies by site, Calyx IRT can send IMP to each site specific to upcoming treatment group assignments; this ensures overage is reduced.

Additional Features

— Can also cover medication needs for the next visit; beneficial if the next dosing visit is close to randomization

— Can be used with another stratification factor, in addition to site

— Does not require sites to have all types of medication for a randomization to proceed

— Can be combined with standard buffer & prediction strategies

  • Covering subsequent visits
  • Including buffer stock in case of IMP damage
