Case Study

From Risk to Resolution: Matrix Secures Urgent Supply Pivot

Background

A clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing precision antibiotics for serious infectious diseases conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial.

The challenge

Partway through the trial, the sponsor faced an urgent supply chain issue: their comparator drug was unexpectedly removed from the market. Without immediate resolution, the study risked halting enrolment and jeopardizing critical regulatory timelines.

“Matrix understood the urgency and clinical context immediately. Their ability to find a compliant alternative and move fast made the difference between a delay and a delivered trial."

The solution

Matrix responded rapidly to the escalation. Our clinical supply specialists identified and validated an equivalent generic product and delivered a continuity strategy that required no protocol amendments, with a direct supply agreement with the MAH. The first supply was delivered to the Sponsor’s packaging site on schedule and in full.

The outcome

  • Study continuity preserved

    avoiding costly delays

  • 20% reduction

    in comparator cost compared to original sourcing

  • Regulatory compliance maintained

    without trial redesign

  • Sponsor completed the trial on schedule

    maintaining momentum for Phase 2 data submission and Phase 3 planning
