Any clinical research sponsor can tell you: every clinical trial and every clinical research site is different with unique needs for supplies, shipping, and subject enrollment in order to adhere to the protocol and any other study-specific documentation. Therefore, the implementation process for an eClinical Supply Chain Management (eCSCM) platform needs to be collaborative and personalized to the individual clinical trial and each of the stakeholders.

Slope, provider of the first eClinical Supply Chain Management (eCSCM) platform, announced hiring two leaders with deep clinical trial expertise: Ben Carmel as Chief Revenue Officer and Matt Smith as Research Site Development Vice President.

Administering a clinical research study comes with considerable risks to achieving a successful trial. These risks are caused by challenges involving data integrity, budget overruns, collaborator productivity, and subject retention, to name a few. An eCSCM platform should mitigate these challenges and reduce risk by replacing manual processes while fostering collaboration between stakeholders, providing real-time visibility into activities and inventory at research sites, ensuring a traceable chain of custody for biological samples and other clinical supplies, and encouraging stronger protocol adherence and regulatory compliance.
