Supplies Return & Destruction Management
Track and manage drug and supply returns from patient dispensing through destruction, with full accountability and reconciliation.
Overview
Supplies Return & Destruction Management is a module within the S-Clinica platform designed to provide complete oversight of investigational drugs and supplies throughout the entire clinical trial lifecycle — from initial production through to final destruction. The solution is built for clinical trial sponsors and site teams who require rigorous accountability and flexible processes for managing the return and destruction of clinical supplies.
The module is engineered to be flexible and adaptable to each sponsor's specific processes, ensuring that supply management workflows can be configured to meet the unique requirements of individual studies and organisations.
Core Tracking and Dispensing Capabilities
- Tracking of dispensation of investigational products directly to patients
- Management of returns to site for both used and unused product
- User error management to handle and document mistakes in the dispensing process
- Management and recording of lost units
- Granular tracking down to the smallest individual unit level
Reconciliation and Return Management
- Full reconciliation of dispensed and returned supplies to ensure complete accountability
- Management of returns from clinical sites back to depots
Destruction Management
- Oversight and management of destruction activities carried out at both clinical sites and depots
- Generation of destruction certificates to provide formal documentation of completed destruction events
As part of the broader S-Clinica suite, this module integrates within a platform that also covers clinical supply forecasting, RTSM, drug and supplies management, direct-to-patient delivery, and data transfer and integrations, supporting end-to-end clinical supply chain management.
