Beyond Logistics: Why Clinical Trial Success Depends on a Connected Supply Chain Strategy
Contract Research Organizations (CROs) are the orchestrators of modern clinical trials. From protocol development to site management and data collection, they serve as the hidden infrastructure that brings therapies from bench to bedside. But in the increasingly global and complex research landscape, a CRO’s ability to execute doesn’t just depend on clinical expertise, it hinges on the strength of the supply chain supporting every material movement and site milestone.

Helping CROs Strengthen Performance Through Smarter Supply Chain Strategy
The complexity of clinical trials only continues to rise, especially in areas like cell and gene therapy (CGT), where the stakes are higher and timelines tighter. Contract Research Organizations (CROs) are navigating this shift from the front lines, carefully managing operational timelines and supporting regulatory readiness while ensuring their sponsor clients receive high-quality, compliant outcomes across global sites.

Turning Risk into Resilience with Supply Chain Resilience for CDMOs
Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) are under more pressure than ever to deliver reliable results in an unpredictable world. From geopolitical instability to material shortages to increasingly complex regulatory expectations, the risks facing clinical and commercial programs have intensified. For CDMOs, these risks don’t just affect their own operations, they directly impact their clients’ ability to bring therapies to patients.

Scaling with Confidence for CDMO Supply Chain Alignment
Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) play a critical role in the life sciences industry, enabling biopharma innovators to bring new therapies from development to manufacturing to patients around the world. The demand placed on CDMOs has only increased in recent years, especially as cell, gene, and biologic therapies have moved from concept to clinic at unprecedented speeds. While the technical and scientific capabilities of CDMOs have advanced to meet these challenges, one area remains a frequent source of friction and delay...the end-to-end, temperature-controlled supply chain.

Building Better CDMO Supply Chain Readiness
With the accelerating growth of advanced therapies comes increasing complexity in the developing and manufacturing ecosystem. Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) sit at the center of this growth, providing critical manufacturing and development services on behalf of their clients, the therapeutic developers. CDMOs require the infrastructure and processes to efficiently scale production, maintain timelines, and ensure product integrity, all while navigating evolving regulatory expectations.

Celebrating Logistics, the Unsung Hero in Cell and Gene Therapy Innovation
Every National Logistics Day offers a chance to recognize the systems and people that quietly power the innovation engine for Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT). While logistics frequently brings to mind images of trucks and warehouses, cardboard boxes, and tracking numbers, for CGT developers, it’s the infrastructure that protects innovation and ensures that time-sensitive, potentially life-changing treatments reach patients intact and on time. At Cryoport Systems, logistics has never been just about transportation. It’s about Enabling the Outcome™.

When Every Hour Counts: How Cryoport Systems Rapidly Mobilized to Protect INmune Bio’s Critical Clinical Materials
Biopharmaceutical development, particularly for advanced CGTs, relies on a robust infrastructure of logistics, BioServices, and temperature-controlled supply chains to ensure timely and intact delivery of drug products under stringent regulations. INmune Bio Inc. faced a challenge when a sudden biostorage site closure jeopardized a key clinical trial. However, with a strong support network, they turned to established partners like Cryoport Systems to overcome the crisis.

Expanding Clinical Trials Internationally in the ATMP Space
Expanding an advanced therapy clinical trial internationally is an exciting milestone but can be daunting for researchers and biotech teams. International trials involve challenges like country-specific regulations, Qualified Person (QP) release, and complex logistics. Early planning for these issues can help avoid delays and ensure progress.

Honoring Survivors, Enabling the Future
Each year on the first Sunday in June, National Cancer Survivors Day serves as a powerful reminder that behind every innovation in medicine, every breakthrough treatment, and every clinical milestone, there are human stories of courage, resilience, and hope. At Cryoport Systems, we pause today not only to recognize the strength of cancer survivors but also to reflect on how our work supports the treatments that are changing survival outcomes.

Starting Smart: How to Structure an Integrated Supply Chain in Early-Stage CGT Programs
For many academic labs, technology spinouts, and early-stage CGT companies, the temperature-controlled supply chain feels like something to figure out later. But when dealing with highly sensitive starting materials and therapies like CGTs, later can quickly become too late. Whether you’re preparing for first-in-human trials or just beginning to plan for scale, integrated thinking now can spare you time, cost, and complexity later.Categories
