Our Asia Pacific Presence
Asia Pacific - the new frontier for clinical research
As the globalization of clinical research gathers pace, the Asia Pacific region has emerged as the most exciting frontier for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to conduct clinical research in. In a recent Novotech survey of executives from biopharmaceutical companies, 98% of respondents said they would consider the Asia Pacific region for future clinical trials.
Home to 55% of the world’s population, Asia Pacific’s popularity for clinical research and development has been fueled by four key factors:
- Cost-effectiveness and time efficiencies afforded by large populations, significant numbers of treatment naïve patients and high urban densities
- A wide range of chronic and lifestyle disease patterns driven by rising prosperity and aging populations
- Increasingly robust and efficient regulatory and ethics processes
- Quality improvements resulting from massive investments in research infrastructure and human resources.
However, as attractive as the Asia Pacific may be, navigating the maze of trial logistics, local regulations and cultural differences can present major challenges.
To conduct clinical research in the Asia Pacific, you’ll need a partner with the local knowledge and people. Only clinical research organizations that actually specialize in the Asia-Pacific region can make your trial a success.
