WORLD
COURIER OPENS INVESTIGATIONAL DRUG DEPOTS IN
STAMFORD, Connecticut, June
30, 2006—World
Courier is pleased to announce the opening in recent weeks of two new investigational
drug storage facilities – one in Moscow (Russia) and the other in Bangalore
(India) – increasing its number of ISO-certified, GMP-compliant pharma depots
to seven worldwide.
Staffed by full-time licensed pharmacists, each
new facility provides comprehensive logistical solutions in a variety of
temperature-controlled environments to companies participating in global
clinical trials. Services include validated storage areas for investigational
drugs, diagnostic kits and medical devices; round-the-clock access to
inventories; on-demand in-country delivery; and drug return/destruction
management.
“By
using our centralized depots, clients can significantly reduce customs delays,
improve the regulatory permit process and better meet their strict re-supply
timelines,” says Wayne Heyland, President and CEO of World Courier Group. “This
is particularly important in emerging markets where interest in conducting
clinical trials is growing incrementally to advancements in the local
infrastructure.”
At
World Courier depots, all documents and materials received, stored or
distributed are completely traceable in compliance with the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) using the company’s proprietary software management system
CTM-STARSM. Customers can also view their inventories on a 24x7x365
basis via live password-protected Internet feed. Other World Courier investigational drug storage facilities are
