Objectives
Learn how the experience made in the pharmaceutical cold chain can support strategies for transport at “ambient” conditions.
Challenges and possible solutions will be discussed and examples will demonstrate how the requirements can be put into practice.

Background
It is of key importance that medicinal products are not only made to a high quality in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), but that the quality and integrity of these products are maintained through the entire supply chain to the patient. This is where Good Distribution Practice (GDP) comes into play.
Handling and control of cold chain products (2 – 8 °C) have been known for a long time. However, the distribution remains extremely challenging. The approvals of various COVID-19 vaccines in many countries at the beginning of 2021 illustrated the importance of distribution of temperature-sensitive medicinal products – and the challenges involved.
With the implementation of the revised EU-GDP Guidelines (Guidelines of 5 November 2013 on Good Distribution Practice of medicinal products for human use) it became clear that control is needed also for all other products, e.g. for those which need to be stored at so-called ambient temperature conditions. Consequently, the temperature should be monitored during storage and transport.
