Manufacturing & Packaging of Clinical Supplies

MODEPHARMA’s network model allows us to offer the full spectrum of manufacturing services for Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs). Our services are applicable to open-label, single-blind, double-blind, and double-dummy studies ranging from smaller phase I through to larger phase IV studies.

All manufacturing/packaging of clinical supplies is undertaken to high quality standards in certified GMP manufacturing units licensed for the manufacture of Investigational Medicinal Products as per current EU principles and guidelines on Good Manufacture Practices (GMP).

  • Imports from Non-EU/third-countries with QP release for EU clinical trial use

Monitored Storage

  • Dedicated storage rooms
  • Freeze facilities (down to -80degC)
  • Segregation and stock-keeping
  • Dedicated facilities for controlled drugs
  • Monthly stock reports

Distribution and Shipments (UK and Worldwide)

  • Comprehensive distribution management

  • Distribution of products worldwide worldwide in ambient conditions or unbroken cold-chain

End-of-Study Services

  • Drug reconciliation
  • End-of-study drug returns and destruction with certification.

Project Management

  • Meticulous project planning with over 200 project control points across the span of a clinical supply project covering project timelines, costings, IMPD data, CTA applications, technical agreements, medication label designs, manufacturing batch records and documentation requirements (for both the contract giver and acceptor).
  • Extensive trial design assistance including IMP production feasibility and budgeting assistance
  • Optimisation of the trial IMP design by calculating the medication needed and selecting the most sensible IMP option – considering not only variables of the clinical trial (such as patient population factors) but also manufacture and stability dependent factors
  • Unique access to a pan-European network of pharmaceutical contract manufacturers ensuring the best option for your requirements
  • Support the set up of Technical Agreements between the Sponsor/Investigator and the contract acceptor
  • Comprehensive co-ordination of all contract manufacturing
  • Ensuring all GCP and GMP requirements around the IMP are met such as labelling requirements and the retrieval of key documentation to support the IMP (Certificates of Analysis, QP release statements and EU GMP statement of compliance)

We do all this so that you can carry out a study with minimal obstacles.
