Therapeutic Area Spotlight

Oncology

Costly trial supplies – benefit from a range of advanced methods to reduce the supplies sent to site, from the recruitment phase to the last visit cycle.

Sourcing changes – change standard of care sourcing at both IMP and site levels, with automatic changes to site resupply strategy.

Disease progression – be assured that the system is designed from the start to manage additional participant visits.

Dose calculations – can be performed by the IRT if of value to sites, using any dose calculation and any formula.

Complex visit schedule – the system can be tailored to apply any protocol rules for switching between and restarting schedules.

Rescue medication – let RTSM mitigate the unknowns of treatment pause, including optimizing supplies and expiry management.

Rare Diseases

Novel randomization – from enrolment-only design to adaptive techniques, we are experts in approaches you can use to reduce the overall number of participants a rare disease trial requires.

Expensive and/or limited drug supply – use advanced methods to ensure only what’s needed is sent to site, including automatic site resupply tailored to recruitment rate and participants characteristics.

Long recruitment period – be assured by built-in self-service flexibility, customizable reporting, and ongoing dedicated support for the life of
the trial.

Challenging logistics – let the system manage tight controls on the participant-led supply chain, from manufacturing to time windows and expiry.

Vaccines and Infectious Diseases

Fast-paced recruitment – easy-to-use recruitment controls with multi-level capping and site resupply tailored to manage a higher
risk of stock-out.

Seasonal recruitment – benefit from automatic site resupply tailored to the season, plus advanced expiry management controls to best
manage short shelf-life.

Short turnaround for design changes – we anticipate the need for fast adaptation with built-in flexibility to add new cohorts and doses.

Quality data needed promptly – rely on a system designed with data quality in mind, plus customizable reports and data sets to allow you to meet tight review timelines for cohort studies.

Sub-set randomization – can be effectively managed by RTSM, including randomization at the visit when data is needed to ensure drop-outs do not affect sub-set treatment balance.

Personalized Medicine

Personalized drug manufacture – RTSM can support a complex and participant-led supply chain, including manufacturing slot and delivery verification, reserved medication, and personalized shipments.

Short time windows – let RTSM manage rapid timeframes, including time to participant administration and expiry management to the hour.

Complex visit management – RTSM can support personalized treatment plans, infusion volume calculations, and effective cross-team communication and alerting on upcoming events.

Innovative trial designs – rely on our experience of a range of innovative designs, including adaptive trials. Our support of master protocols includes a range of options for medication pooling, from the simple to the complex.

High risk of unblinding – we are experts at mitigating unblinding risk throughout the life of the trial, from randomization to site shipments to drug allocation to data provision. Our cross-functional SME team will deliver a tailored risk plan to ensure the additional unblinding risks of individualized treatment are properly managed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between IRT
and RTSM?

Although IRT & RTSM are used interchangeably to refer to critical clinical trial technology, put simply – IRT is what it is (Interactive Response Technology) & RTSM is what it does (Randomization and Trial Supply Management).
Advanced IRT can do so much more to support you & your trial than its core of RTSM.

What’s in an essential IRT/RTSM
vendor checklist?

There is so much to consider when deciding which IRT/RTSM vendor to trust with your trial.
What’s essential for you to consider when selecting a vendor who can support the successful implementation of your trial, includes both the technology and the people.

How to get more from a good IRT/RTSM vendor?

You should expect your IRT vendor to enable randomization, to manage trial supplies and to design for data quality.
A good vendor has the technology and the experience to support all trial designs, including cohort and adaptive trials, provide expert guidance on randomization methodologies, automatically optimize site resupply and integrate seamlessly with any system.

How to simplify clinical trial management with IRT/RTSM

When selecting an IRT/RTSM vendor, you should consider how they can support the successful execution of your trial.
A technology-enabled service provides expertise to manage your challenges, experience to implement your trial design, flexibility to meet any of your protocol & packaging needs and the adaptability to manage planned and unplanned changes.

How can IRT improve trial supply efficiency?

You should expect an RTSM system to get the right drug to the right participants on time, every time.
By using advanced inventory management for your trial, you can also automatically reduce drug wastage, carbon footprint, and site supply monitoring effort.

What are the key IRT/RTSM design considerations for clinical trials?

Designing an optimal IRT/RTSM system for clinical trials requires a comprehensive approach, which includes the following key areas: protocol design, study goals, risk management, ease of use, flexibility and adaptability for the life of the trial.

How to visualize your trial results with randomization simulation

RTSM experts can help you understand if a randomization methodology is right for your trial. With early engagement, they can provide consultancy to plan the implementation of your novel method.

How can IRT/RTSM reduce risk and increase efficiencies through integration?

By integrating data from a range of systems, including laboratories, trial supplies & EDC, an IRT can help reduce duplicate data entry, manage unblinding risks and automate tasks.
