Direct-to-patient

Putting people at the center of what we do

We now offer direct-to-patient shipments from clinical sites directly to patient’s homes. This is available for studies with Clinical sites in the US, Canada and throughout Europe.

We are continuously looking for ways to provide better and more efficient service offerings to accommodate the busy lives of the patients, clinical sites, and sponsors that we work with. We understand that patient recruitment and retention is one of the biggest challenges to the success of clinical trials. Our new innovative solution of shipping clinical trial material direct to patients’ homes offers more flexibility and aims to improve patient compliance.

From our doors to the clinical sites, to the homes of participating patients – our efficient approach is integrated across all touch points.
