With Direct-to-patient (DTP) protocols on the rise due to COVID, many sponsors are having to reconsider their IMP returns and destruction strategy.
Since patients will have clinical materials in their home, how can they be returned and reconciled while still maintaining patient privacy? What are the financial implications?
