  1. Clinical Trials New Horizon – India Dr. Surinder Singh Drugs Controller General (India) E-mail: dci@nb.nic.in/ www cdsco.nic.in

  2. PRIORITIES • Establish Single Window clearance for approvals • Fix timelines for each application (2-6 Weeks) • New Drug application status on the web – Update daily • Subject Experts-reviewers – Internal / External • Staff & Infrastructure at one site • Training CDSCO

  3. Clinical Trials in India “Broad regulatory reforms, a sizable and growing pharmaceutical market, combined with highly attractive professional and patient populations, make India a compelling new region for conducting global clinical trials.” CenterWatch (Aug 2003) “India’s business and regulatory climates have undergone dramatic change in the past 18 months through passage of a patent bill, regulations updated to harmonize with TRIPs and international standards, and plans for a more US FDA-like regulatory body.” CenterWatch (July 2007)

  4. The journey towards becoming an attractive new destination for clinical research Acceleration Attraction 1992 1996 2000 2004 2008 2012 61 Companies Acceptance 100 CROs 80 Hospitals 150 Investigators registered with US FDA

  6. Indian Clinical Research Market • The Indian pharmaceutical industry is growing at an annual rate of 11 % while the clinical research industry is growing an annual rate of whopping 84 %. • *McKinsey estimated that clinical research in the country would be a $1bn ($1000m or €800,000m) industry by 2010 whereas Ernest & Young indicates around $1.5 -2 billion by 2010. • **Market value for clinical trials outsourced to India is estimated at around $300 million, having increased by 65% in 2006, it is expected to touch $1.5-2 billion by 2010. By 2010, the industry will spend USD 300M+ on clinical trials in India *Goldman Sachs, Centre watch, Goldman Sachs and McKinsey (2008) **Report of the High Level Group on Services Sector, pg. 105, Government of India, Planning Commission, New Delhi, March 2008.

  7. Growth of Indian Clinical Trial Industry As per FICCI - Ernst & Young Survey Report 2008, India can attract between 5 - 10% of the global contract research outsourced market (all services including chemistry, toxicology and clinical research) over next 5 years.
