Clinical Trial Supply
Rescue Sourcing
Recover trial supply when stock runs short, batches fail, or unexpected disruptions threaten protocol timelines — through rapid wholesaler network coordination.
Trial supply disruptions — expired batches, supplier delays, unexpected protocol changes — can halt enrollment and jeopardize study timelines. McHade provides rescue sourcing support to recover supply through coordinated wholesaler network channels.
Rescue engagements are scoped to the urgency and complexity of your gap: product profile, batch requirements, destination sites, and the documentation your QA team needs for an expedited but compliant handoff.
Rescue sourcing works alongside comparator, RLD, and biologic sourcing services — or as a standalone response when an existing supply line fails mid-study.
