Getting investigational product into Latin America is one of the most underestimated challenges in international clinical trials and one of the most common causes of study startup delays. In this episode of the Precefi Podcast, Rich Panico, CEO & Founder of Precefi, sits down with Gustavo Barraza, President Commercial, Sales and Pricing at World Logistics Cargo / Health Care Cargo, and Matias Barraza, Operations Manager, to walk through exactly what it takes to move study drug through customs and to the LATAM study sites.
Topics covered:
– The complete document package required for import/export licensing
– What IRBs and ethics committees require before drug can ship
– Regulatory timelines country by country and how they differ across Latin America
– How to build shipment and permitting timelines into your study startup plan so customs never becomes your rate-limiting step.
