Interfax is pleased to announce...

The 2nd China Clinical Trials Outsourcing Congress

20-21st September 2010. London, UK

Forming Winning Partnerships For Long-Term Growth

Achieving the Goals of Successful Scientific R&D and Long Term Commercial Results

Assessing the Roles of the Key Stakeholders - Pharmaceutical Companies, Contract Research

Organisations, Academia, Regulators & Technology Providers

The status of China as a key player for conducting preclinical and clinical trials has strengthened as the authorities have sought to revise the regulatory climate and also due to an ever growing labour pool available to support clinical trials.

China’s changing population and wealth is beginning to provide increased consumer demand. As lifestyles change and the population ages we are seeing a subsequent increase in western diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular issues, creating an increased demand for drugs to treat these diseases.

Inevitably China’s huge population can provide faster patient recruitment and the large percentage of patients without health insurance motivates high participation and patient retention. In broad terms, we will be discussing;

• How to meet the challenges of conducting clinical and preclinical studies in China

• Assessing the challenges and advantages of partnering with regional CROs against setting up operations in China.

• Regulatory procedures

• Patient recruitment and retention

• Logistics and data management

The China Clinical Trials Outsourcing Congress will feature two streams with comprehensive keynote addresses and case study presentations delivered by over 30 senior level industry speakers from China and across the globe.
