Along with
Asia Pacific, Latin America is one of the hottest emerging biopharmaceutical
and medical device product development regions, offering access
to patients and an increasingly skilled clinical trial labor base.
Additionally, it offers expanded sales opportunity for branded
and non-branded products as regional government and health policies
evolve to meet market demands. Currently more than 80% of the
regional market share of pharmaceutical sales and growth rates
is distributed among Argentina, Mexico and Brazil. But with proper
planning and a risk-managed approach, there is also plenty of
opportunity to be found in the so called non-traditional Latin
America countries for clinical trial success for both in-country
and ROW marketing approvals. These countries include: Costa Rica,
Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama and Venezuela.
In this presentation, our speakers will draw upon extensive first-hand
knowledge and experience as they discuss the pros and cons of
conducting clinical research in these non-traditional countries.
This audio
conference will address:
- Examples
of the interest and strategies for this region that CROs are
seeing and hearing from clients
- Opportunities
and challenges of conducting product development in these countries
- Therapeutic
experience of each country
- Study planning
best
practices
- Recruitment
drivers and sustainers
- Key regulatory
issues and proactive regulatory and business risk management
