Cold Chain Logistics Enters the Patient‑Centric Era
In Contract Pharma’s recent roundtable, Caitlyn Clauss and David Ergott of Almac Clinical Services make one point impossible to ignore: Cold chain isn’t just about temperature anymore – it’s about the patient.
As advanced therapies grow more individualised, they highlight the need for:
Zero‑margin‑for‑error handling for patient‑specific treatments
Direct‑to‑Patient models that reduce burden and increase access
Real‑time visibility to intervene before a shipment impacts care
Their perspective is clear: If the system depends on the patient to manage complexity, it’s time to redesign the system. A strong reminder that the future of cold chain is personal, precise, and built around the patient experience.
