Clinical trial logistics at the highest level: Krieger offers GDP and GMP-compliant solutions for investigational medicinal products, including temperature-controlled transport, EU QP release, return management and customised additional services.

Clinical trials

The logistics of investigational medicinal products (IMPs) play a central role in the success of clinical trials. Errors in the supply chain can have a serious impact on the results. As a GDP-certified full-line pharmaceutical wholesaler, we offer specialised logistics solutions tailored to the complex requirements of clinical trials.

With comprehensive expertise, state-of-the-art infrastructure and a broad range of services, we support your clinical research - from EU QP approval to the disposal of IMPs.

Reliability

The secure handling of supply chains for IMPs requires comprehensive compliance and the highest security standards. We have the relevant certificates and authorizations to ensure compliant and reliable logistics:

  • GDP and GMP certifications: Compliance with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for the quality and safety of logistics processes.
  • Permission according to § 52a AMG: Wholesale authorization for the safe handling of medicinal products and investigational medicinal products.
  • KRITIS certification (B3S-Pharma): Krieger's IT infrastructure is audited as critical infrastructure (KRITIS) by the BSI to ensure the highest data security standards.

Perfect process

Experience and expertise in IMP logistics

We have extensive experience in handling IMPs, including EU QP approvals, temperature-controlled logistics and comprehensive returns management. Our expertise includes, among others:

  • EU QP approval: Support for EU QP approval of IMPs to meet regulatory requirements for use in clinical trials.
  • Temperature-controlled storage and transportation: From chilled to frozen to ultra-low temperature conditions - we ensure that IMPs are stored and transported under optimal conditions at all times.
  • Continuous temperature monitoring: Real-time tracking and monitoring of temperature throughout the supply chain to detect and rectify deviations immediately.
Returns management

Comprehensive returns management and safe disposal of IMPs

Returns management and the safe disposal of unused or expired IMPs are key components of successful trial logistics. We offer safe and efficient return processes that comply with regulations and ensure complete documentation. We also ensure the environmentally friendly and compliant disposal of IMPs in accordance with all regulatory requirements, thereby complying with the highest safety and environmental standards. Complete documentation of all returns and disposal processes ensures compliance and full traceability at all times.

Additional Services

Tailor-made for your trial

In addition to logistics, we offer a range of tailor-made additional services to optimally support your clinical trial. These include design and label translation to meet the requirements of international trials. We provide suitable packaging materials and handle the packaging of IMPs to ensure their safe and compliant shipment. Customised packaging solutions are developed to meet the specific requirements of IMPs and guarantee the highest safety standards.

Safety standards

Highest safety standards and risk management

We rely on comprehensive security protocols and robust risk management to prevent theft, tampering or loss of IMPs. Measures such as access controls, video surveillance and alarm systems reliably prevent unauthorised access to storage areas. In addition, well thought-out emergency plans and effective risk management ensure a fast and efficient response to incidents such as transport damage, delays or temperature deviations to guarantee the safety of the products at all times.

Flexibility and adaptability

Perfectly coordinated in every trial phase

Clinical trials often require adjustments during implementation. We offer flexible and scalable logistics solutions that adapt to changing needs. Thanks to scalable services, we can react flexibly to changes in protocol, the opening of new trial centers or fluctuating volumes. In addition, individual logistics processes are developed that are specifically tailored to the requirements of your clinical trial to ensure smooth and efficient execution.
