Activate/Inactivate depot for study
A depot is a warehouse that is used to store and distribute items (drugs) to another destination (other depots or sites) in the course of a study. In CTMS, you can add depots to your study to establish business relations with certain storage facilities for drug distribution purposes.
The depots added to the study in CTMS can then be managed via the IWRS application for drug maintenance and distribution to sites.
In CTMS, you cannot delete depots from a study, but if the depot is no longer needed or should be temporarily disabled, you can inactivate it and later activate it again if needed.
Important
The depots inactivated in CTMS cannot be viewed and managed in the IWRS system.
