FARGO, ND - Mar 28, 2014 - CSM, a leading provider of packaging, storage and distribution solutions for global clinical trials, is honored to speak and exhibit at the upcoming 23rd annual Partnerships in Clinical Trials conference March 30th to April 2nd in Las Vegas.

The company offers a blend of unique and traditional clinical trial services, including the revolutionary On-Demand packaging and labeling method which drastically shortens timelines while increasing the flexibility of a study. CSM is proud to co-host the Wednesday, April 2nd 11AM session "Right Drug. Right Now: Challenging the Traditional Drug Supply Model" with client speaker Peter Foote, Head of Clinical Operations and Data Assessment at XOMA (US), LLC, Bob Albanese, VP, Operations at CSM and Leslie Bihari, Jr. President at eClipse CRO.  

During this session, attendees will hear a comparative case study demonstrating how the On-Demand method reduces drug waste and re-work while shortening timelines. The first trial followed the traditional methodology for packaging, storage and shipping. A second, nearly identical trial followed a per-shipment request strategy by leveraging the On-Demand platform from CSM as well as the Right Drug, Right Now® offering from eClispe CRO.

"We're eager to show the entire industry how our innovative services are making a significant impact not only for our clients, but the patients being treated as well. By sharing our experiences in deploying these new methodologies, we can help organizations overcome the challenges they face when starting a clinical trial," said Bob Albanese, VP, Operations at CSM.

CSM can be found at Booth #1400 at the Partnerships in Clinical Trials Conference.
