Direct to Patient Logistics in Russia and Belarus. Direct to Patient (DTP). Direct from Patient (DFP)
A DTP model allows drug therapies to be administered or biological samples to be collected at the patient’s home by an investigator site, pharmacy or depot. This type of patient-centric services deliver clinical trial materials and retrieve biological samples directly to and from a patient’s location. The clinical trial supply chain integrity is guaranteed through full temperature monitoring from pick up to delivery.
Direct-to-Patient (DTP) – is an integrated supply chain system within that allows patients to receive treatment at home or at work. The service may include dispensing the medicine, transporting it to a patient or even storing at home with temperature control.
Often the initial dose will be administered at traditional healthcare facilities, such as investigator sites in trials, hospitals, or clinics, and then this can be switched to a home-care model thereafter, which often is a mix of traditional and home visits.
