Shippers Successfully Deliver Early-Stage Clinical Trial Samples

Celerion helps its pharmaceutical manufacturer clients safely and swiftly deliver products in environmentally friendly, temperature-sensitive shipping containers.

Weather, mechanical failure and human error can cause significant delays in the transit of early clinical trial samples, which can make them unusable. Keeping these valuable samples stable from storage through delivery is essential for Celerion, a Lincoln, NE-based provider of early-stage drug development and applied translational medicine.

 

The company’s name, derived from the Latin word celeritas, connotes swiftness and speed. These are attributes that Celerion regards as its founding principle—helping its pharmaceutical manufacturer clients promptly get their products to market. These samples help provide knowledge of drug action and effect in humans to companies to support drug development decisions and the clinical pharmacology labeling of new medicines.

 

To help Celerion distribute these typically temperature-sensitive sample shipments, the company is working with AeroSafe Global, supplier of turnkey cold chain services for the biopharmaceutical industry.

 

“We first started conversations with AeroSafe in May 2016,” recalls Dennis Jacobson, Celerion’s Global Manager of Operational Efficiencies and Supply Chain. “We chose to do a limited trial of the system to ensure AeroSafe containers would meet our needs. In early 2017, after a successful trial, we signed a two-year contract to continue with the service.”
