Conducting Clinical Trials In Emerging Regions: Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, India and Latin America

Upcoming Courses

Course Description

In order to speed up the clinical research and product registration process, it is critical to carry out clinical studies outside what is considered traditional countries/regions (United States and Western Europe). However, conducting studies in developing countries requires very careful planning to succeed. Being ready to take full advantage of a global patient population can provide very positive patient access results, and today,  emerging regions like Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Latin America play a very important role in global clinical trials. Accessing these populations requires an understanding of how to approach cultural differences, language barriers, and their unique regulatory environments.

Learning Objectives

  • Overcome the challenges of conducting international clinical trials in  emerging regions
  • Consider cultural and regulatory differences and approaches when conducting clinical trials in emerging regions
  • Assess the critical issues to be considered at the time of planning a clinical trial in  emerging regions
  • Identify the key differences in conducting clinical trials in emerged regions versus emerging ones

Who Should Attend

  • This program has been designed for those clinical research professionals who are involved in the planning and execution of global clinical trials.

Anna Filimonova, M.D., Ph.D.
