Sponsor perspective:
Access to large number of patients, access to treatment naive patients
Potential of emerging markets
Economic advantage
Health authority perspective:
Drive to promote domestic biotechnology and medical research
International agreements easing FDA/EMEA acceptance
But: Acceptability of foreign data?
Investigator perspective:
Personal scientific interest and development of staff
Financial incentives

8. How to optimize global patient recruitment
- Shifting Global Patient Recruitment -
Phase III trials in November 2007
30% of clinical trials conducted
outside of US (157 of 509)
More than 50% of study sites
outside of US (13,521 of 24,206)
From 1995 to 2005, the number of countries
serving as trial sites outside
the US more than doubled

23. Summary and Outlook
The trend for off-shoring of clinical research into the
Asia-Pacific region will continue
The are limits in how far regional externalization of
R&D is possible (ethnicity, global acceptance)
Bayer Schering Pharma will continue to significantly
invest global R&D resources into the AP region
