Conducting Exploratory Trials in Scandinavia

Debating where to take your clinical trial? While emergent research settings like India and Asia have captured much of the media spotlight in recent years, there are few places in the world better-suited for phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials than Scandinavia. .

Populations in the Nordic region are ethnically homogeneous with a majority being caucasian. Governments and populations both display a positive attitude toward clinical research, with high compliance rates by trial participants. All citizens have free and equal access to healthcare, preventing sampling bias due to differences in social status. Health care facilities in the region have first-rate infrastructures and access to state-of-the-art medical equipment. In comparison to other countries, trial costs can also be cut in half..

In this audio conference, the speaker discusses these and other factors that make the Scandinavian countries a leading choice for exploratory trials.

Conducting Exploratory Trials in Scandinavia was presented by Dr. Claes Strom, Partner and COO, with aCROnordic and aired on 2008-10-30. For more information or to purchase a download of this conference, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
