>>> Sustainability via Waste Recovery

Operational Efficiency with a Measurable Impact

Clinical trial supplies are often defined by complexity and waste. At ClientPharma, we challenge that model. We integrate agile and lean operations with a veteran-led commitment to efficiency into every stage of the supply chain, ensuring you minimize drug loss, meet your sustainability goals and reclaim value for reinvestment back into critical R&D.

>>> Why "Over-Sourcing" is Costing Your R&D

The nature of clinical trials, with unpredictable patient enrolment, protocol amendments and changing timelines, often necessitates significant over-sourcing of comparator drugs and ancillary supplies.

This leads to two critical problems:

  1. Financial Loss: millions of dollars in unused or expired products must be destroyed, representing a direct loss of capital that could be used for other strategic initiatives
  2. Environmental Impact: the disposal of unused pharmaceuticals  adds unnecessary strain to global waste management systems, negatively impacting your company’s environmental footprint and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting

ClientPharma addresses this challenge by applying the disciplined, lean methodology of our veteran leadership. We recognize that waste management begins long before product destruction. It starts with intelligent, focused sourcing.

>>> Reclaiming Your Investment

Our program is built on two core pillars: Prevention and Recovery. We don’t just manage the residual waste, we actively work to prevent it and then maximize the utility of any remaining product.

1. Prevention (Lean Sourcing): with 180+ years of collective experience, we leverage deep market intelligence and analytics to design a local, central, regional, or hybrid sourcing strategy which is tailored to your study requirements and enrolment curve; this strategic planning significantly reduces the volume of unused drug products upfront

2. Recovery (The Value Chain): when a trial closes or is terminated, we provide comprehensive services to help you process unused supplies — this includes:

  • Strategic Repatriation: leveraging longstanding relationships to compliantly return products back to the manufacturer or re-sell the stock into other studies
  • Value Recovery: identifying pathways to recoup costs for eligible materials, turning potential liabilities into recovered assets
  • Patient-Focused Donation: coordinating with approved non-profits to donate unused products to patients in need, ensuring life-saving medications do not go to waste

This service is a crucial component of our agile and lean operations model.

>>> Beyond Compliance: The ClientPharma ROI

Partnering with ClientPharma for your clinical supply and waste management services offers clear, measurable advantages.

These directly impact your bottom line and public commitments:

  • ESG Reporting & Reputation: demonstrate verifiable progress toward your corporate environmental and sustainability goals by actively reducing pharmaceutical waste
  • Operational Certainty: work with a disciplined, Veteran-Owned team that applies meticulous planning to eliminate unnecessary steps, reducing the risk of costly last minute supply delays that lead to additional waste
