Clinical trial supply chain and randomization software
4G Clinical builds RTSM (Randomization and Trial Supply Management) and supply optimization software for pharma sponsors and CROs running clinical trials. The tech stack is QA-heavy (WebdriverIO, Selenium, Playwright, Jenkins, Bamboo, Cucumber) — reflecting a testing-first culture critical in regulated environments where trial data integrity is non-negotiable. Engineering dominance in hiring (13 roles) paired with ongoing RTSM implementation projects signals active product maturation, while support load reduction appears on the pain-point list, suggesting scaling friction as customer deployments grow.
Notable leadership hires: Study Project Lead
4G Clinical provides two core products—Prancer RTSM and 4C Supply—designed to accelerate drug development by optimizing how medicines are distributed across trial sites and participants are randomized into studies. Founded in 2015 and based in Wellesley, MA, the company serves mid-to-large pharma and contract research organizations managing trials of any complexity. The product operates at the intersection of clinical operations, supply chain, and data workflow; implementation involves close collaboration with trial teams on protocol design, supply forecasting, and mid-study adjustments. The company employs 201–500 people and is actively hiring engineers, support staff, and operations roles across the US, Ireland, UK, and Japan.
Python, Selenium, WebdriverIO, Playwright for QA automation; Jenkins, Bamboo, Travis CI for CI/CD; Jira for project management; NetSuite for operations; Navan for travel. Heavy emphasis on test automation and BDD (Cucumber, Gherkin).
Active projects include Prancer RTSM implementation and feature development, client integrations, system validation, and UAT. Pain points indicate focus on reducing support load, managing implementation complexity, and improving system efficiency.
