Over the last 20 years, Australia has grown to become a destination of choice for the conduct of early-phase clinical trials. This is partly due to the favourable Australian regulatory pathway that exists where the submission of an online Clinical Trial Notification form to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) means that from submission of documents to IRB for approval to First Patient First Dose takes an average of five weeks. Coupled with the attractive R&D tax incentive program offered by the Australian Government, this model can be used to support an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) application allowing companies to speed up their drug development process.
Join this free webinar to learn more and understand how the favourable regulatory pathway works in Australia. The featured speakers will draw upon their experience with US biopharmaceutical companies and will discuss the strategies being followed by US biopharmaceutical companies in planning their first in human studies, which are ultimately accelerating their drug development pathway.
