Conducting clinical trials in India is attractive because of a vibrant urban health care environment, English as the business language, first rate medical credentials of CRAs and Project Managers, and a large therapeutically diverse patient population.

Regulatory bodies in India made strides last year strengthening drug /device regulations and clinical trial laws gaining in patient protection while increasing alignment with western regulatory authorities. Many of the changes have captured media attention and raised questions.

Join Dr. Razdan for a live discussion to learn about the many aspects involved in conducting clinical trials in India including:

The current clinical trial regulatory scenario
How the developments are positive since critical concerns of SAE compensation have been addressed and targeted timelines issued
How rules are being streamlined for conducting clinical trials in India to provide higher transparency among all stakeholder groups including patients, industry, sponsor and regulators alike

India’s regulatory authorities continue to be committed to progressive review and approval of foreign clinical research requests, having learned from and improved upon methods to ensure ethical, ICH GCP conduct. Dr. Razdan and Max Neeman International have worked closely with the Drug Controller General of India [DCGI] since 2001. During this presentation, Dr. Razdan will also discuss:

Targeted approval timelines issued by DCGI
Regulatory agencies responsible for trial approval
SAE Compensation requirements
Processing of Import / Export License
DCGI assurances for ethical and ICH GCP conduct by all sites
Why conducting clinical trials in India still makes sense for global studies
