SCORR Marketing And Applied Clinical Trials Conduct Survey On Clinical Trials In China

KEARNEY, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SCORR Marketing, a global full-service marketing and communications firm, partnered with Applied Clinical Trials to conduct a survey to gather information on the state of clinical research trials in China.

“We discovered that the majority of respondents were uncertain about the impact these regulations had or were not even aware of them at all”

Due to its large and growing pharmaceutical market, China is presumed to be a popular location for trials. The report explores whether there is truth behind this assumption using insight gained from a survey of industry leaders. Respondents answered questions regarding the impact of recent regulatory changes, the therapeutic areas most commonly focused on in China and their use of Chinese partners. They also offered their predictions about which regions will see more clinical trials in the future.

“Clinical trials are expected to migrate to Asia at the expense of regions in North America and Western Europe,” said Cliff Echols, director of market intelligence at SCORR. “Companies are being drawn to China largely due to the large pool of patients and the growing pharmaceutical market.”

The survey also assessed the impact that recent Chinese regulatory changes have had on trials, specifically the Nine Prohibitions, intended to combat corruption, and the Administrative Measures for Clinical Study Projects at Medical Institutions, put into place to better align procedures to good clinical practices.

“We discovered that the majority of respondents were uncertain about the impact these regulations had or were not even aware of them at all,” said Lisa Henderson, editor in chief at Applied Clinical Trials, which is part of the Life Sciences unit of UBM. “Among those who were aware, most believe that both regulations made China a more attractive location to conduct trials.”
