Clinical Trials Logistics

21-22 May 2008
Crown Plaza – The City Hotel, London, UK

The total R&D investment of bringing a new product to market has been estimated to be close to £400 million.

Delays are expensive and even a few days could potentially cost millions of pounds. The pressure of bringing drugs to market quickly and cheaply, has lead to many clinical trials now being carried out in Asia and Eastern Europe. Each country has its own guidelines which can be highly regulated, so it is crucial to understand the complexities of shipping trial materials to a variety of destinations. More>>
