This case study explores the deployment of an innovative logistics solution designed to support the survival of premature infants through the rapid collection, retrieval and delivery of essential, temp-sensitive supplements to hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Storage specifications for the supplements was -20°C with instant availability required upon order. Retrieval was immediately followed by expedited delivery at -80°C with dry ice. Executed by Marken, this project required a comprehensive system enabling immediate access, and transportation of these critical supplements, ensuring they reach newborns in regional hospitals when every second counts.
The Role of On-Demand Manufacturing and Derisking in Accelerating Early Clinical Trial Success
June 4th 2025Small pharmaceutical companies are constantly seeking innovative solutions to streamline early clinical trials. Adaptive clinical trials offer important benefits to sponsors and patients, both from a commercial and ethical standpoint. These trials offer flexibility and efficiency, especially in the early stages, where trial protocols can be adjusted based on interim data, such as introducing new doses or modifying participant sample size. However, adjusting manufacturing demand during an adaptive trial can be complicated, and strict regulatory requirements present significant challenges. On-demand manufacturing provides a robust solution, allowing for real-time supply and demand adjustments and improved trial flexibility. This paper explores how on-demand manufacturing meets the operational needs of adaptive trials and aligns with regulatory expectations.
