Clinical Trial Supply

Comparator & RLD Sourcing

Procure US-licensed reference listed drugs and comparators with batch-specific documentation from a registered pharmaceutical wholesaler.

Comparator and reference listed drug (RLD) sourcing is often the first operational hurdle in a US-linked clinical program. McHade procures FDA-approved products through licensed US wholesaler channels, with batch-level documentation your QA and regulatory teams can file.

Whether your protocol requires a specific RLD, a licensed comparator, or batch-matched supply for a bioequivalence study, McHade coordinates sourcing aligned to your study design — not a generic catalog order.

Comparator and RLD sourcing can be engaged on its own or combined with biologic sourcing and rescue support as your protocol evolves. Each service is scoped independently to your trial requirements.
