Our solutions that support advanced therapies

Regulatory affairs and CMC

Navigating global health authorities is complex, especially with an advanced therapy. Cencora is a partner with a proven history of bringing transformative therapies to market. We offer guidance informed by regular engagements with global agencies, chemistry manufacturing controls (CMC) services, and assistance with special designations and programs for advanced therapies, helping you navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.

Clinical development consulting

Long before any therapy goes to market, biopharma companies make decisions that will influence long-term commercial success. We combine scientific expertise and global product development experience to help overcome challenges associated with toxicological risk assessment, product and clinical development, clinical trials, and more.

Market access strategy

Supporting access to innovative therapies for patients is anything but straightforward. We can help you differentiate and deliver your brand's value proposition worldwide, offering timely advice on market access strategy and execution throughout the product life cycle.

Patient safety (pharmacovigilance)

Promoting patient safety is a top priority, especially when your patients are ill and have few treatment options. Our pharmacovigilance services support manufacturers in recording the safety and efficacy of therapies from clinical development through post-market surveillance with a team experienced in U.S., European, and Canadian regulations and reporting standards.

Third-party logistics (3PL)

Cencora offers innovative logistics solutions tailored to the unique needs of advanced therapies. Our quality-centered approach encompasses transport, warehousing, inventory management, and distribution, ensuring that products are delivered efficiently and securely to support clinical and commercial operations.

Specialty distribution networks

Advanced therapies involve complex handling requirements and patient journeys. Our experts can assist in designing a channel strategy that evolves as your product matures. We offer solutions for order-to-cash management to help provide optimal market and patient access. Our global distribution centers feature temperature-controlled solutions, ensuring patients receive the products they need precisely when they need them.

Specialty logistics

Gain reliable, efficient, and safe supply chain management for high-value products through Cencora’s network of over 100 3PL facilities and transport stations. With over 50 years of experience in global shipments, we excel in managing the logistics of life-saving therapies. We provide temperature-controlled solutions and a partnership-driven approach, allowing clients to focus on breakthroughs while we handle logistical complexities.

Patient access services

Guiding a patient through a complicated treatment journey from point of enrollment through treatment administration is challenging. We have created a unified experience for providers and manufacturers through a single, easy-to-use solution that gives all stakeholders visibility into the eligibility process. This makes it easier than ever to request support either on demand or timed across key milestones of the treatment journey.
