Strategic Comparator Sourcing in China: Optimizing the Clinical Supply Chain

China is now the second-largest pharmaceutical market in the world, and with a more harmonized and efficient clinical trial approval process, it is seeing a large increase in clinical trial activity – even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ensuring that a clinical trial supply strategy is in line with current market requirements, and that a sponsor has considered all of their sourcing options, is essential to save time, resources and reduce costs. This webinar will provide two unique insights into this strategy and the key areas to focus on for success.

The featured speakers will address sponsors’ common concerns when establishing a clinical trial supply strategy in China, and provide solutions to problems that sponsors have experienced in the past, including:

• Have the regulatory requirements cost time and money and delayed the clinical trial plan?
• Have time, language, and cultural differences affected the efficiency of a project?
• Are there concerns about quality and reliability when initiating a trial in China?
• Is there uncertainty about how to assess sourcing options and determine what the best solution may be?

The challenges of running successful trials in China can be daunting, and getting comparator sourcing right from the start is essential. This webinar will focus on the key areas for success as participants hear both the pharmaceutical and service provider views on how to navigate the Chinese landscape effectively.

Join this webinar to find out more about overcoming these challenges, and learn how making the right strategic choices can have a positive impact on running clinical trials in China.
