Ensuring Reliable, Cost-Effective Delivery of Critical Samples

An emerging biotech company engaged Covance to manage three global Phase II clinical trials for treatment of lymphoma. The client requested the use of premium couriers to ship bone marrow and skin biopsy samples from sites in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific to their U.S. testing facilities. While Covance was willing to accommodate this request, these procedures would significantly increase the cost of the trials and so, Covance helped the client find a more reasonable alternative.
