Globalization of Clinical Trials

In this 90 minute webinar you will receive critical information on how global research partnerships are fast becoming a common business model for the biopharmaceutical and medical device industries.

Register today to receive important information on how regulators are responding to globalization and how your company can ensure that it has appropriate controls in place to respond to new risks.


Overview
Manufacturers are responding to increased competition by emphasizing cost-effective R&D models.   The expansion of research and development activities into a largely global activity continues to accelerate.  The growing prominence and roles of contract research organizations (CROs) has also contributed to a surge in R&D activity in emerging markets, and presents a variety of opportunities and risks.  The emergence of an outsourced global R&D model is changing traditional enforcement and compliance approaches, and efforts by the FDA and other regulators to ensure patient safety and prevent corruption of research activities presents new enforcement and compliance challenges.
