CRO Client Support

Working as one to deliver sponsor success

You want the best for your sponsor. You want to help them to deliver compliant and successful clinical trials and fast track time-to-market. To help them make their mark on modern medicine and advance human health.

Achieving this is made easier with a strong alliance with a qualified, capable and proven CDMO partner. Through collaboration and by aligning critical trial components, including clinical supplies packaging, labelling and distribution, operational efficiencies can be streamlined, timelines expediated, risks reduced, and quality and control enhanced across all trial phases.

To ensure overall harmonisation of all GxP activities, while benefitting from in-depth expertise and global capability, CROs and CDMOs must develop a true partnership. One that enables their very different core activities to achieve a level of coordination that drives the success of the clinical trials they are collaborating on, supercharges sponsor success and keeps patients at the heart of the mission.

What we do

Our solutions leverage expert teams, robust processes, and cutting-edge technology to optimise clinical supply chains while ensuring quality, safety, integrity, efficiency, and patient focus.

We provide CROs with end-to-end clinical supply chain support, including primary production, secondary packaging and blinding, product release, Qualified Person services, and global distribution across varied storage conditions. Our temperature management tools—such as TempEZ, iTag4, and the Almac Pod—maintain product integrity and compliance at every stage.

Samantha Ashburn, CRO Operational Lead

“Honest and open communication, genuine collaboration, and partnership are what I believe set us apart from other CDMOs. Yes, our demonstrable expertise and strategic approach matter too, but at the end of the day, CROs choose us because we’re invested in their success. We care about doing a great job for them, for their sponsors, and for their patients. That’s what Supply with Care is all about.”

CRO Client Testimonials

“Almac is very responsive to queries, follows up on open items, keeps the project plan updated, and ensures that we are completing tasks stated in the plan. They are dependable and good to work with.”
“The Almac team is well organised and runs the study efficiently.”
“The flexibility that was shown to allow such an agreement to be executed, particularly the language inclusion and multiple updates from the sponsor team, was a great sign of the successful working relationship shared between Almac and ourselves.”
“Almac’s flexibility to release new IMP kits when our sponsor faced a shortage was very valuable in ensuring there were no gaps in patient supply.”
“Almac responded to all our needs while setting up this study, and the process was as smooth as possible.”
“For this study, we use Almac’s UK QP verification team, and their work has been outstanding.”
“This is the third study for which I am using the services of Almac Clinical Services, and so far, everything has been wonderful. We had complicated IMP productions that required a lot of work around the new labels. The Almac team not only offered three different scenarios but also ensured that the easiest and most cost-efficient one was possible and applied. They always work within their timelines. Almac’s PM manages everything so well on their side that I barely need to follow up with them and ask for updates – they are proactive and provide all necessary updates themselves and on time. The sponsor is also very happy with their work. I am looking forward to further working with them.”
“The study went through a lot of changes; it was postponed and then restarted. Almac has been providing excellent service in every aspect, meeting all timelines, assisting with any urgent matters and tasks that arise at the very last moment. Almac’s PM is structured, detailed, and manages the study wonderfully. It is always a pleasure to work with Almac.”
“I find Almac to be our best drug supplies vendor.”
