PAREXEL Expands Clinical Trial Supply, Logistics Services

Parexel announced the opening of its new European Coordination Hub and Distribution Center in Berlin-Schönefeld, Germany. Its capabilities include synchronized coordination of clinical trial supplies, ancillary supplies and central laboratory services and features more than 65,000 cubic meters of storage space. It offers lab-kit assembly and provides storage and distribution of ancillary materials.

The new European Coordination Hub and Distribution Center will be licensed to store Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs) and Non-Investigational Medicinal Products (N-IMPs). It will also offer secondary packaging, re-labeling, and compliance with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) of medical devices and ambient, refrigerated and frozen medicinal products, including controlled substances. On-site Qualified Person (QP), Quality Control (QC) and production personnel will manage regulatory-compliance requirements. They will also streamline product import, receipt, storage, packaging and labeling, release, shipment, return and destruction timelines.
