Karstadt presented comparator sourcing strategies, which included basic information on comparators and four major steps in compiling a sourcing strategy. The presentation outlined the following strategies:

• Determining sourcing complexities
• Compiling a strategy
• Assessing the materials
• Assessing the providers

Karstadt provided more depth to his presentation with an actual walk through of two case studies with the audience, which involved sourcing comparators worldwide for standard of care and sourcing comparators in remote areas within the Asian markets.

The conference also provided an analysis of the latest developments in labeling, packaging, inventory management, security, forecasting, partnering and outsourcing. Multipharma’s executive team members are frequently requested to speak at pharmaceutical and biotechnology conferences.
