WS21.1 – Cold Chain Resilience in Clinical Trials: Lessons from Global Operations

As the number of temperature-sensitive therapies in clinical development continues to grow, maintaining a resilient cold chain has become critical to protecting product integrity and patient safety. This session will examine the real-world challenges of managing cold chain distribution across global clinical trial networks, including infrastructure variability, temperature excursions, and transport disruptions. Drawing on operational experience, speakers will share practical strategies to strengthen monitoring, contingency planning, and cross-partner coordination to ensure reliable temperature control throughout the clinical supply chain.
