Emerging technologies like digital twins offer supply chain efficiency solutions, allowing the industry to integrate sustainable practices while ensuring patient safety.
In an earlier article, we reviewed the randomization risks that could arise if an interactive response technology (IRT) system isn’t designed and/or implemented correctly. Here we address the consequences that trial sponsors could face if their IRT system isn’t adequately designed to handle the many and often complex drug allocation and trial supply aspects of their clinical trials.
It is unrealistic to include infinite adaptations in an IRT system, thus identifying the optimal level of adaptations requires examination of the study’s characteristics and planning phase considerations.
This is the first of two articles on the consequences that could arise if an interactive response technology (IRT) system isn’t designed and/or implemented correctly and how a trial could quickly go off track based on risks related to randomization, drug allocation, and trial supply.
