Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions sponsors ask most often about comparator drug sourcing, import and export, cold-chain logistics and clinical trial supply. Every answer below describes a service that CanalLotus Biotech actually provides.

Comparator sourcing and clinical supply

What is a comparator drug?
A comparator drug is a marketed medicine used as the reference or control arm in a clinical trial. Sponsors need it to show that an investigational product is effective and safe relative to existing therapy. Because comparators are usually approved products sold in a specific country, sourcing them across borders involves supplier qualification, registration documents, import licensing and temperature-controlled logistics.
Which types of drugs can CanalLotus supply as comparators?
CanalLotus Biotech supplies controlled drugs, psychotropic drugs, anti-cancer drugs, biologicals and vaccines as comparators for clinical trials, through partnership networks in the United States, India, Europe and Japan. See Comparator Drug Purchasing.
Which documents come with a comparator shipment?
Shipments are accompanied by the documents required for the trial file, including Certificate of Analysis (COA), Certificate of Origin (COO) and a copy of the registration document. The document chain is traceable from the manufacturer to the end user.
How are comparators kept within the required temperature range during shipping?
CanalLotus Biotech uses professional transport and packaging standards together with temperature recorders, so the sponsor receives the full temperature statistics of the shipment. Storage is held at constant temperature and humidity with air ventilation and backup power supply, and the recorded data can be traced back to any point in time. See Drug Storage & Logistics.
What is investigational product blinding and repackaging?
Repackaging and blinding convert an open-label marketed product into blinded clinical trial supplies: secondary packaging, labelling, blinding and randomization support, so that neither subject nor investigator can identify the treatment arm. See Drug Repackaging & Blinding.
Does CanalLotus handle import licensing and customs clearance in China?
Yes. CanalLotus Biotech handles cross-border import and export of comparator drugs, including import licensing, customs clearance in China and the related regulatory documentation. See Comparator Import & Export.
Does CanalLotus take back unused investigational product?
Yes. CanalLotus Biotech offers door-to-door recycling of investigational product for both sponsors and research institutes, using dedicated instruments to collect drug waste and partnering with professional disposal companies to avoid environmental damage.
Does CanalLotus provide clinical trial patient recruitment?
Yes. CanalLotus Biotech supports clinical trial subject recruitment through hospital networks, with an oncology focus. See Clinical Trial Patient Recruitment.
Which countries does CanalLotus Biotech serve?
CanalLotus Biotech serves sponsors worldwide, with sourcing and delivery networks across Asia, Europe and North America, and partnership networks in the United States, India, Europe and Japan. The company is based in Beijing, China, and was founded in 2016.

Free online tools

Is the peptide calculator free to use?
Yes. The peptide reconstitution calculator and the drug development calculator toolbox are free web tools with no registration required.
How is peptide concentration per unit calculated?
Concentration in mcg per unit equals (peptide mass in mg × 1000) ÷ (BAC water volume in ml × 100). Units to draw equals target dose in mcg ÷ that concentration. Concentration in mg/ml equals peptide mass in mg ÷ BAC water volume in ml.
