Description
The center of the global pharmaceutical industry is shifting. Part of that shift is also the outsourcing of pharma R&D to Asia by various means and models. This symposium will highlight that strategic move in general but also discuss a clinical CRO alliance model and, furthermore, zoom into the Chinese clinical CRO business.
Learning Objectives: Discuss the benefits, opportunities, and risks of doing Pharma R&D in Asia Describe the advantages of regional CRO alliances versus multinational CROs in terms of cost effectiveness and efficiency of Asian regional clinical studies Identify the challenges of clinical R&D in Chinese CROs.
