Depot association of non-serialized vs. serialized drug units
Associating drug units with a depot assigns the drug units to that depot. This process is especially useful if the drug units are shipped to a local depot before the study begins.
Before you can associate any drug units with the depot:
- The drug schedule for the drug units must be approved.
- The drug units must be packaged with proper labels.
IRT supports these types of drug units:
- Serialized—Serialized drugs are sequenced. These drug units are:
- Associated with the depot to apply or increase the number of serialized drug units available to the depot.
- Dissociated from the depot to remove serialized drug units from the depot.
- Non-serialized—Non-serialized drug units are not sequenced, and are managed by quantity. These drug units are:
- Added to or subtracted from the depot to manage the quantity.
After you associate the drug units, you can apply lots and label groups (if required by the study) and then ship the drug units.
