Investigational medication administration

For those of you that dispense IDS medications, do you have a policy or procedure for when a study team wants to administer a medication that is NOT dispensed from your pharmacy? Do you treat it as a patient's own medication (PTOM)? We have not been asked to be a dispensing site for this particular study, but the study team wants to transport the medication to be administered on the inpatient side, again without pharmacy involvement. I feel it needs to be somehow profiled on the patient's chart. Thoughts/comments?
