Almac

Almac understands that the patient is the “heart and soul” of your clinical supply chain. Recruiting and retaining patients is central to the success of any trial and drives clinical supplies strategy and management. Patients are also crucial for the information they provide to sponsors during the trial in the form of Patient Reported Outcomes.

For these reasons, Almac has developed a suite of patient services that help sponsors and sites better manage patients involved in critical trial activities.

Almac’s IXRS^® technology is the engine that delivers these vital patient services. Accessible by phone or web, IXRS^® can be programmed to take patient management to a higher level. Along with standard functions such as randomisation, IXRS^® can be used to drive patient compliance with ePRO and other study tasks, help sites by administering reimbursements and stipends, and assure patient safety through blinding and unblinding.
