Struggling to deliver your clinical research studyon time and on budget?
Unfortunately you’re not alone. Clinical trial delays, bloated budgets, and questionable clinical trial data integrity are all symptoms of a clinical supply chain not designed for scale.
Study Protocol Complexity is Increasing–Especially for Early-stage Clinical Trials
With more clinical trial stakeholders–sites, labs, suppliers, patients, a CRO–and more dependencies, data, and shipments, challenge the best clinical operations professionals.
As Clinical Studies Scale, Trial Supply Management Quickly becomes Chaos
With manual workflows and no single system of record, clinical trial sponsors lack visibility and traceable chain of custody for supplies and samples, degrading data integrity.
A Better Approach to Clinical Trial Management
We make clinical trials boring.
When it comes to clinical trial management, boring is better. The Slope eClinical Supply Chain Management online platform brings collaboration, visibility, and traceability to your clinical trial supply chain, which means fewer surprises for you, your patients, and your vendors.
Collaboration
Slope connects sponsors, sites, CROs, vendors, patients, labs, biorepositories, and couriers so everyone works from a real-time, single source of truth throughout your clinical trial.
Real-time Visibility
Slope brings visibility to clinical trial management so you can improve resource allocation for site-based and decentralized (DCT) trials through automated, demand-driven supply.
Traceability
Slope ensures traceable chain-of-custody so you can monitor your drugs, lab kits, lab samples, and equipment wherever they are, including while in transit with courriers.

Unlike most unusual (seemingly made up) days of the year, Clinical Trials Day has a great deal of history behind it — centuries, actually. Annually on May 20th, Clinical Trials Day honors the legacy of James Lind, a Scottish doctor, who conducted one of the first ever clinical trials in 1747.Lind was a pioneer of naval hygiene in the Royal Navy, often arguing the health benefits of better ventilation aboard ships, improved cleanliness of sailors' bodies, clothing and bedding, and below-deck fumigation. During his time serving on the HMS Salisbury, British seamen were contracting scurvy at an alarming rate after just two months at sea, with some even succumbing to the disease.
In this blog, the second in our series on clinical supply chain management optimization, we’ll highlight these mistakes and issues and the operational problems they cause that can negatively impact the probability of a successful clinical trial.
Keeping track of investigational product (IP), lab kits, equipment, and other supplies is a clinical operations problem that often results in missing study drugs, expired lab kits, lost biological samples, and delayed resupply shipments—all signs that there is a need for clinical supply chain management optimization.
