Delivering quality assurance, reliability, and global reach for clinical trials
Conducting clinical trials comes with complex logistical challenges, from managing temperature-sensitive investigational products to navigating global regulations and ensuring timely delivery to trial sites or patients. Cencora simplifies these complexities with tailored solutions that enable pharmaceutical manufacturers, biotech companies, and clinical research organizations (CROs) to bring therapies to market efficiently and compliantly. Our expertise includes advanced cold chain capabilities, secure storage, and real-time supply chain visibility to maintain product integrity and support consistent dosing schedules.
With a global network of depots strategically located near patient populations and trial hubs, we make sure therapies and clinical trial materials are positioned where they’re needed most.

Beyond transportation, we offer end-to-end services, including comparator sourcing, kitting, labeling, storage, and reverse logistics, preventing delays and unexpected costs.
For more than two decades, Cencora’s clinical trial logistics solutions have supported early-phase studies to large-scale global trials.
