L05.1 – Commercial Product Donations in Clinical Trial Supplies

This lecture explores the strategic and operational complexities of donating commercial drugs from clinical research. Donating unused or surplus clinical trial materials, including commercial comparator products, can provide meaningful patient and societal benefit while reducing waste. However, donation programs involve complex regulatory, ethical, and logistical considerations. This session will explore how sponsors can implement compliant and responsible donation strategies, addressing regulatory frameworks, product quality and traceability, supply chain logistics, and partnerships with charitable or healthcare organizations.
