“What makes World Courier a logistics partner rather than a provider? It’s our appreciation of the critical human value inherent in each and every shipment; our firm grasp of today’s global supply chain risks and our proactive response to minimize them; and our emphatic commitment to quality, compliance and process – the very same values our customers rely on to assure their research results and protect patients.”

Service Overview

World Courier delivers its specialized logistics services across the full “life cycle” of the clinical trial process, beginning with pre-trial coordination between biopharmaceutical companies, CTSs, CROs and Central Labs. The company then manages the logistics and transport of all trial materials, packaging, scheduling and routing. Once a trial is underway, World Courier assists with regulatory and permit issues and manages the import of bulk drugs and supplies into centralized storage depots. We also handle the intra-country distribution from investigational drug storage depots to clinical trial research sites, coordinate patient sample logistics, and manage drug return and destruction procedures.
