PAREXEL Expands Global Clinical Logistics

PAREXEL has expanded its global Clinical Logistics Services with an additional warehouse in the greater Boston, MA area and a significantly enlarged depot in Santiago, Chile to support the management of global clinical trial material supply requirements. These facilities expand on the company’s existing clinical logistics infrastructure throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Asia/Pacific region.

PAREXEL Clinical Logistics Services provide distribution and centralized management of clinical trial supplies through the management of import/export requirements, and the coordination of the clinical trial material supply chain from planning, sourcing, manufacturing, storage, and distribution through to site management, return and destruction.

The company’s Quality Assurance management system provides GCP, GMP and GLP compliance. Also, the PAREXEL Laboratory Operations Management System (LOMAS) tracks every sample against trial protocols and maintains a secure lab database.

“We are taking a strategic approach to the biopharmaceutical industry’s steadily growing clinical logistics needs. Through the expertise of our clinical logistics leaders around the world and our advanced global facilities we are focused on streamlining the clinical supply chain, and providing comprehensive services to our clients,” said Kurt Norris, corporate vice president, Clinical Research Services, PAREXEL.
