2. Asia Pacific, the Growth Force
Economic growth remains strong in Asia Pacific markets
despite the economic crisis.
The pharmaceutical market in Asia is growing at 10-15% in
Asia compared to 5-7% in G7 countries (source: Price
Waterhouse Coopers).
Good Clinical Trial Infrastructure in the Region
There is continuous growth in the scientific base and
capabilities in Asia, encouraged by local authorities, given the
growing contribution of clinical research to the local economy.
There are centralized healthcare institutions, well qualified,
highly motivated investigators and excellent clinical trial
facilities which are comparable to the best in class globally.
Trials are supported by clinical trial units and study
coordinators.
Efficient Regulatory and Ethics Committee Processes
With the appropriate approach, the regulatory approval
processes in most Asia is no more complex than in the US or
Europe, with the exception of China where it is still relatively
complex and require long timelines.
Overview of Clinical Research in Asia Pacific
The trend is among the regulatory authorities within the
region is towards reduction of regulatory approval timelines.
Regulatory agencies in several countries do provide clear
instructions on their processes and requirements for
documentation. Most agencies provide this information on
their websites which are updated regularly to include the
latest requirements and policies.
All regulatory agencies are well organized and welcome
meetings with sponsors as necessary to facilitate the
submission and review process.
The majority of healthcare institutions have well organized
Ethics Committees (EC) / Institutional Review Boards (IRBs)
which follow ICH GCP and have now acquired significant
experience.
