Frequently Asked Questions

Can OnWay transport investigational drugs under GCP guidelines?

Yes. OnWay provides GCP-aware couriers and regulatory-compliant documentation for IMP transport. Our chain of custody records meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic record requirements and are suitable for IND applications.

What cold chain capabilities does OnWay offer for research materials?

OnWay supports ambient, refrigerated (2–8°C), frozen (−20°C), and ultra-low (−80°C) transport. Dry ice shippers are validated for multi-hour and multi-day transit, and continuous temperature data is available for every shipment.

Can OnWay support a multi-site Phase III clinical trial?

Yes. OnWay has experience supporting large multi-site trials with complex IMP distribution, return logistics, and biospecimen collection networks across multiple states.

Are OnWay drivers trained in IATA dangerous goods regulations?

Drivers assigned to biospecimen transport complete IATA Category B (P650) awareness training. For Category A infectious substances, we follow applicable DOT and IATA regulations with appropriate packaging and documentation.

How does OnWay handle unblinding or temperature excursion incidents?

OnWay has a documented incident response protocol. Any temperature excursion or shipment irregularity is immediately escalated to the client sponsor and documented in our audit trail — preserving data integrity for regulatory review.

Does OnWay work with CROs and academic research institutions?

Yes. OnWay partners with CROs, academic medical centers, biotech companies, and government research institutions — providing flexible logistics solutions tailored to each study's specific protocol and regulatory requirements.
