Sourcing with confidence.

Comparator sourcing is a critical component of any successful clinical trial. We make it simpler by providing compliant, traceable access to branded and generic comparators, placebos, non-IMPs, co-medications, and rescue medications. Backed by global reach and longstanding manufacturer relationships, our sourcing solutions help keep your study on schedule without compromising quality or compliance.

Every clinical trial brings its own complexities. Comparator sourcing shouldn’t be the bottleneck. That’s why we go beyond access to deliver a sourcing strategy. Whether navigating availability challenges, managing varying expiration dates, or aligning with regional requirements, our approach is designed to anticipate and resolve obstacles before they impact timelines. With hybrid sourcing models, a longstanding partner network, and project teams experienced in complex trial settings, we help sponsors maintain continuity and flexibility across all trial phases. From initial planning through last-mile delivery, we make sure your comparator supply chain is one less thing to worry about.

About Comparator Sourcing

Sourcing comparators may seem straightforward, but in reality it’s one of the most time-sensitive and risk-prone elements of any clinical trial. From tight study startup timelines and global recruitment windows to expiration management, overage control, and regional compliance, even small disruptions can have costly ripple effects. As trials become more complex, sourcing strategies must do more than secure supply. They must support regulatory alignment, optimize budgets, and reduce waste. Our solutions are built for this environment. Agile, reliable, and aligned with the operational realities of modern trials.

  • Hybrid Sourcing & Flexible Supply

    Access comparators through a global partner network that combines direct manufacturer relationships and qualified distributors. This maximizes availability and reduces sourcing risk.

  • Proactive Risk & Waste Management

    Built-in expiration tracking, fallback sourcing, and demand forecasting help minimize delays, reduce overage, and support continuity throughout the trial.

  • Comprehensive Regulatory Documentation

    Full access to Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Certificates of Conformity/Compliance (CoC), and TSE/BSE statements to support smooth, compliant movement across borders.

  • Global Access with Local Execution

    18 affiliates and state-of-the-art infrastructure enable regional flexibility and just-in-time delivery. Solutions are tailored to the demands of each trial.

  • Strategic Supply Integration
