“We work closely with customers to ensure regulatory compliance and supply chain integrity, and to identify and deliver the best shipping solutions for each individual study or consignment.

Success is measurable by both the quality of the research results or product, and the cost containment achieved through careful advance planning and effective partnerships.”

Service Overview

World Courier delivers its specialized logistics services across the full “life cycle” of the clinical trial process, beginning with pre-trial coordination between biopharmaceutical companies, CTSs, CROs and Central Labs. The company then manages the logistics and transport of all trial materials, packaging, scheduling and routing. Once a trial is underway, World Courier assists with regulatory and permit issues and manages the import of bulk drugs and supplies into centralized storage depots. We also handle the intra-country distribution from investigational drug storage depots to clinical trial research sites, coordinate patient sample logistics, and manage drug return and destruction procedures.
