Marken, United Parcel Service Inc.'s clinical-trial logistics unit, has partnered with technology provider Thread, in a bid to streamline the logistics of clinical-trial participation.

The companies Tuesday said the partnership means clinical-research organizations won't have to manage individual logistics to set up a study, and patients can coordinate aspects of their participation, such as consent and sample analysis, under a single entity.

UPS sees healthcare as among the most profitable shipments in its business, Kathleen Gutmann, an executive at UPS Global Healthcare, said earlier this month at an investor-day event.
