Services· Secondary Packaging and Labelling of Investigational Medicinal Products
Coming soon to Lörrach, expected from the end of Q1 2027
The trial is approved. Now the investigational medication needs to reach the sites, correctly labelled.
We package and label your investigational medicinal products specific to the study, GMP-compliant under our own manufacturing authorisation pursuant to § 13 AMG, and supply the clinical trial sites according to your specifications. On request, with QP release from the same organisation.
Non-binding and confidential. Answer in one to two working days.
§ 13 AMG
Packaging as a manufacturing step under our own authorisation
CTR 536/2014
Labelling of investigational medicinal products
One organisation
Labelling and QP release combinable
An approved trial whose investigational medication is not labelled to comply with regulations cannot start.
The question that matters
Can we get packaging, labelling and release from a single provider?
Yes. We carry out secondary packaging and labelling as a GMP-compliant manufacturing step under our manufacturing authorisation pursuant to § 13 AMG. Afterwards, our Qualified Person under § 14 AMG can release the same investigational medication, within the same organisation, for use in the clinical trial, with no handover to a further provider.
Every clinical trial requires investigational medication that is packaged and labelled specific to the study. We take on the secondary packaging and labelling of your investigational medicinal products as a GMP-compliant manufacturing step under our own manufacturing authorisation pursuant to § 13 AMG, and supply the clinical trial sites according to your specifications.
Labelling follows the Clinical Trial Regulation (EU) 536/2014 and the Detailed Commission Guideline C(2017) 8179 (Eudralex Volume 10). On request, our Qualified Person under § 14 AMG, within the same organisation, also handles release of the packaged investigational medication, one less handover and a single point of contact for both.
Process
From the enquiry to the labelled investigational medicinal product.
You describe the trial, the product, quantities and timeline. We tell you what packaging and labelling require.
02
Specification and label draft
We agree the packaging concept and label texts with you, in line with CTR 536/2014 and your specifications.
03
Packaging and labelling
Execution as a GMP-compliant manufacturing step under our manufacturing authorisation pursuant to § 13 AMG, fully documented.
04
Release and supply
On request, our Qualified Person releases the investigational medication. We then supply the trial sites according to your specifications.
Typical initial situations
Does this sound familiar?
Clinical trial sponsors
The trial is approved, the investigational medication manufactured. Study-specific packaging, labelling and supply to the sites are still missing.
Biotechs without their own manufacturing
You are developing the product but have no manufacturing authorisation of your own for packaging and labelling.
Study teams under time pressure
The trial start date is fixed. Packaging, labelling and release must fit reliably into the timeline.
Sponsors using comparator products
An approved medicinal product is to be used as a comparator and must be repackaged and labelled specific to the study for this purpose.
Responsibility
Who stands up for it here.
You get the name, the legal role and the extension of the person who takes over your topic. Before the start of the contract, not afterwards, and not as a team, but as a person.

Under which authorisation do you package and label?
Secondary packaging and labelling of investigational medicinal products are manufacturing steps. We carry them out under our own manufacturing authorisation pursuant to § 13 AMG, documented in a GMP-compliant manner.
Under which rules is the investigational medication labelled?
The governing framework is the Clinical Trial Regulation (EU) 536/2014, supplemented by the Detailed Commission Guideline C(2017) 8179 (Eudralex Volume 10). We agree the label texts with you and document the labelling in a GMP-compliant manner.
Can you also release the packaged investigational medication?
Yes. Our Qualified Person under § 14 AMG can release the investigational medication for use in the clinical trial, within the same organisation, following packaging and labelling. Packaging, labelling and QP release then come from a single provider.
Do you supply the trial sites directly?
Yes. We supply the clinical trial sites according to your specifications and ensure GDP-compliant transport, together with experienced logistics partners where required.
