The continued growth of clinical research in India can be attributed to a number of factors. The regulatory environment has improved in recent years, as has the infrastructure and the level of experience. These, when combined with the never-ending quest to reduce drug development costs and timelines, have fueled an increase in the number of clinical trials in India. With that expansion has come a growing diversity in both the size and types of trials sponsors are seeking to conduct in the Indian market. In response to this diversification, the regulatory requirements continue to evolve, both in an official context and also through the views and opinions of the agency and how they are evaluating the submissions.

Though the market for clinical trials in India has improved dramatically, a number of complexities still exist and like most markets today, specifics in the regulatory guidelines, combined with regional and cultural intricacies make having an strong grasp on these elements critical. This audio conference presentation is designed to provide attendees with specific details regarding the regulatory guidelines that exist today in India, and where these regulations might be headed in the future.
