Goals of Clinical Trials
Local clinical studies are an essential stage of drug development and state registration. But not only that.

Already after drug registration, you may need to introduce changes to the "medical" sections of the Drug Label. Or you may need to elaborate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics or pharmacodymanics of the drug, to get evidence-based marketing material for promotion purposes.

As you well know, registration and post-marketing clinical studies are conducted in all of these cases.

Clinical trial is a prospective study to determine the efficacy, safety, tolerability and/or efficiency of medical intervention referred to therapy, prevention and diagnostics of a specific disease state of an individual.

They can be conducted with the participation of patients and healthy volunteers.

Clinical trial of a drug is a study of diagnostic, health-promoting, preventive, pharmacological properties of drug during its use by an individual, including absorption, distribution, alteration and depletion processes by applying scientific estimation to receive evidence of the safety, quality and efficiency of a drug, data on adverse drug reactions of the human body, and interaction effect with other drugs and/or food stuff (from the Federal Law of Russia No. 61, 2010 "On Drugs Circulation").
Why Clinical Trials in Russia?
There are 143.5 million people in Russia (according to the Federal State Statistics Service as of August 1, 2013).

Key opportunities for the organization of Clinical Trials in Russia:
✔ A large proportion of patients are "naive", i.e., do not take any drugs or receive any other treatment before they were recruited in the study. It means that patient recruitment is much easier and FASTER due to a small number of rejections at the screening stage.
✔ For patients with severe diseases, participation in a clinical study can often be a wonderful opportunity to receive comprehensive medical care.
The population is highly educated, which is beneficial for participants' compliance with the trial protocol (patient compliance) and reduces the likelihood of loss to follow-up.
A genetic profile of the population and environmental conditions are similar to those in the countries of Europe and North America.
✔ Investigators and clinical research teams are highly qualified. Many research centers (investigation sites) succtssfully passed through FDA / EMEA inspections, Sponsors' audits.
The costs of clinical studies in Russia are significantly lower than in Western and Central Europe, the US, Canada, Japan, Australia etc.
