The Benefits of Conducting Clinical Trials in Australia
In a recent benchmarking study* Australia was recognised as an ideal and safe location for Pharma Outsourcing. Conducting clinical trials in Australia has the following benefits:
-
Established and mature regulatory regime (an original contributing country to ICH-GCP guidelines)
-
Clinical Trials recognized as some of the best in the Asia Pacific region
-
High level of IP protection
-
Low risk destination (Infrastructure, Legal, Economic, Human Capital, Geopolitical)
-
Mature pharmaceutical market
-
Counter-seasonality with the Northern Hemisphere means trial sites can be initiated up to six months earlier for appropriate studies.
