ClinStorage’s clients often face numerous challenges such as timing, a lack of regulatory expertise, and logistical issues.

“When clients come to us, they’re often eager to see results right away, but they haven’t yet checked all the boxes needed to get things moving,” says the company’s Head of Quality and QP, Joseph Fernando. “They may be a team of researchers who have discovered a breakthrough chemical or biological substance and want to release it to the world right away. But they’re perhaps not CMC, regulatory, or quality experts. There’s a lot missing – and that’s where we step in to help.”

ClinStorage offers a faster, more affordable alternative, helping clients save time and money.

Being a smaller, more agile company gives ClinStorage a significant business advantage. As CEO Jonas Östregård explains: “Small to medium-sized clients often face a long wait of 6-12 months with larger clinical trial supply companies. ClinStorage offers a faster, more affordable alternative, helping clients save time and money.”

The company offers low-cost, long-term storage, a service CROs and CMOs sometimes prefer not to provide. Clients can also save money by procuring individual services from ClinStorage, avoiding the pass-through costs associated with CMOs. “The fast and agile work we can perform is a big advantage. It’s cost effective, and we manage things efficiently to save time,” Jonas Östregård says.

To close the loop, as a pharmaceutical company you want to have a biobank for the materials that come back from the clinical side.

The company functions as a central hub for all physical materials, from starting materials and drug products to ancillary supplies and biological samples for biobanking. This approach simplifies the supply chain for the sponsor and prevents materials being scattered across multiple locations. 

“To close the loop, as a pharmaceutical company you want to have a biobank for the materials that come back from the clinical side. Should that be stored in the 50 different labs connected to your clinical trial – or should you collect it all and keep it in one spot?” Jonas Östregård muses.

ClinStorage also provides an integrated service for batch certification and storage in one location. This reduces the risks involved in moving sensitive materials and aligns with the legal requirement that a QP must be able to see the material they are releasing. Moreover, for companies that use more cost-effective international manufacturers, but who need to ensure their products meet EU GMP standards, ClinStorage is also an Importer of Records. This enables them to import pharmaceuticals from third countries into the EU on a client’s behalf. 

We are not the full answer to conducting more clinical trials in Sweden, but we are one of the different pieces that will come together to make that happen.

Besides the obvious advantage of gathering all materials and sourcing services in one and the same place, the company’s Swedish location is itself beneficial.

“One advantage of doing business with a Swedish company is the quality,” says Jonas Östregård. He highlights the country’s strong life science heritage which has resulted in a highly skilled professional corps and which permeates the country’s many life science companies. He also points out that the currently low Swedish krona makes their services competitively priced for international clients. 

The company’s presence in Sweden helps local clients navigate unique and complex regulatory requirements. This is especially relevant now after the Swedish government’s recent approval of the SweTrial initiative, aimed at boosting clinical trials in the country. 

“Don’t just talk the talk, you need to walk the walk,” Jonas Östregård says. “If you want to run clinical trials, keep them here. We are not the full answer to conducting more clinical trials in Sweden, but we are one of the different pieces that will come together to make that happen.”
