New Trends In Clinical Research

 Trends In Clinical Research

• India has become a signatory to TRIPS.
• Commencing 2005, there have been drastic changes in patent laws and its applications within India.
• To introduce new drugs in India, clinical trials are mandatory.
• Clinical trials are required to be conducted as per ICH-GCP norms.
• There is a huge demand for qualified and trained Clinical Research Professionals (See chart below).
  
  

Resources	2002 (Center Watch)	2010 (Center Watch)	2010 (Mckinsey)
CR Market	US $ 30 - 35 Million	US $ 250 - 300 Million	US $ 1.5 Billion
GCP Studies	40 - 50 Million	250-300 Million	1,500-2,000 Million
GCP Trained Investigators	200 - 250	2500 - 3000	10,000 - 15,000 Investigators
Subjects Required	4,000-5,000	50,000 - 60,000	2,00,000 - 3,00,000
CR Professionals	120 - 150	1,500 - 1,800	6,000-9,000

Internationally, the demand for clinical research specialists is even stronger than in India. The shortage globally traverses all continents including most notably North America, Europe, as well as Asia. While most EU, Canadian, and US employers are outsourcing the majority of the clinical research work to India, there are jobs available to Mir-IFCR grads in the US and EU and Mir-IFCR graduates meet US and Canadian immigration requirements.

These same employers from the US, EU and Canada, though, have thousands of jobs available across India, which has become one of the world's leading centers for clinical research.
