The partner for first-in-human and beyond
CSI empowers biotech innovators with fast, compliant and cost-efficient sourcing solutions - helping you reach first-in-human and beyond without compromising quality or timelines. Our expert team combines regulatory intelligence with a global sourcing network to secure niche molecules and manage limited batch sizes, while rapid-response logistics adapt to protocol changes and enrolment shifts.
Mid-Size Pharma Companies
Scalable clinical supply specialists
Mid-size pharma must grow studies without growing risk. As clinical trials scale across countries, sites and protocols, you need compliant sourcing, tight cost control and simpler comparator and co-medication supply.

Through centralised procurement and global regulatory alignment, we streamline comparator and co-med sourcing, manage GDP and GxP-compliant cold chain logistics with end-to-end chain of custody, and coordinate import-export and QP release. Our team delivers batch-specific documentation and QA oversight, backed by proactive forecasting, scenario planning and real-time visibility to prevent stockouts and waste. The result is reliable multi-country trial supply that accelerates study start-up, protects quality and improves ROI for Phase II and III programmes.
What you get
Comparator sourcing expertise across therapeutic areas
Optimised cold chain logistics with real-time tracking
Batch-specific sourcing and documentation to meet QA requirements
Tailored supply planning for regional or global trials
Bridge supply support between phases or protocol changes
Reliable supply for multi-country studies
CSI is your strategic partner for scaling clinical operations with confidence - offering transparent pricing, regulatory alignment, and reliable supply for multi-country studies. We combine deep comparator expertise across therapeutic areas with optimised cold chain and real-time tracking. Batch-specific sourcing and documentation meet QA needs, while tailored plans support regional or global designs and maintain bridge supply through phase transitions or protocol changes.
Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Companies
Global trial logistics specialists
The globalisation of clinical trials requires country-specific regulatory expertise. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies must be able to understand changes around international drug sourcing and import and export requirements to remain compliant. With global experience spanning six continents, CSI provides targeted solutions to serve trials worldwide, sourcing and supplying medicines, medical devices and ancillaries to Europe, the United States, Central and South America, and Asia-Pacific.
