Over the last decade pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have entered a period where they have become confronted by a variety of complex issues affecting their operational efficiency and profitability. It has now become generally acknowledged that the current business models have become both economically unsustainable and operationally unsuited to act quickly enough to produce the types of innovative treatments that will be demanded by global markets. Major issues confronting both the pharmaceutical and biotechnology market are: the requirement to reduce the escalating costs and risks associated with drug development; and reduce clinical trial timelines by improving patient recruitment and improving the efficiency of clinical trial results analysis and reporting. The biopharmaceutical industry has recognized the opportunities and advantages that exist by conducting clinical trials in what are referred to as the emerging markets. This report identifies market dynamics and key regulatory changes, and analyzes the implications and factors which need to be taken into consideration when conducting clinical trials in India.
