What is Clinical Research/Trial?

Any investigation in human subjects intended to discover or verify the clinical, pharmacological and/or other
pharmacodynamic effects of an investigational product(s), and/or to identify any adverse reactions to an
investigational product(s), and/or to study absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of an
investigational product(s) with the object of ascertaining its safety and/or efficacy. The terms clinical trial
and clinical research are synonymous.

In short Clinical research is a branch of medical science that determines the safety and effectiveness of
medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use. These may be
used for prevention, treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease.

Why Clinical Research?

Clinical Research look at new ways to prevent, detect or treat disease. Treatments might be new drugs or
new combinations of drugs, new surgical procedures or devices, or new ways to use existing treatments. The
goal of clinical research is to determine if a new test or treatment works and is safe.

Clinical Research is an important step in discovering new treatments for diseases as well as new ways to
detect, diagnose, and reduce the risk of disease. Clinical trials show researchers what does and doesnt work
in people. Clinical trials also help researchers and doctors decide if the side effects of a new treatment are
acceptable when weighed against the benefits offered by the new treatment.

From Laboratory to Market:

A medicine starts out as a new drug molecule which, after many years of basic research, has emerged as a
potential treatment for a particular disease. To put this in to context, consider that of 10,000 new promising
drug molecule, if 1 makes it to the first stage of clinical trial, the R&D department are doing so well. The new
drug molecule then must go many years of clinical development, and must fulfil many criteria before
eventually being approved for use as a medicine.

Developing a drug can take up to 15 years and cost
can run in to billions of dollars.

Clinical Research Phases:

Before a new drug can be tested in people, it must undergo rigorous pre-clinical testing both in-vitro and in
suitable animal model, also known as Pre-Clinical Phase. During this phase important pharmacological data
are obtained about drug dosing, and potential hazards and risks are identified. This allows regulatory
authorities to make a risk assessment and consider the drugs suitability for testing in humans.

Clinical trials involving new drugs are commonly classified into four phases. Each phase of the drug approval
process is treated as a separate clinical trial. The drug-development process will normally proceed through
all four phases over many years. If the drug successfully passes through Phases 1, 2, and 3, it will usually be
approved by the national regulatory authority for use in the general population.

Clinical Research in India:

Indian Clinical research Industry was estimated at US$ 50 million in 2003, US$ 200 million in 2008 & US$
1000 million in 2010. Clinical Research staff requirement was 800 in 2003, 4000 in 2008 & 20,000 in 2010. As
per Mckinsey Report India is expected to reach US$ 6000 million by 2015 which indicates need of 60,000-
80,000 expertise in 2-3 years in Clinical Research Field.
India is attracting collaborative contract proposals for conducting clinical research and many entrepreneurs
have already come forward to set up their Clinical Research Organizations (CRO) due to:

Larger patient pool
Highest patient recruitment rate
Least expensive (Cost to conduct clinical trial in India is 50-60%lower as compared to US/UK/EU)
Highest Investigator and facility pool
Most conductive Regulatory Environment
Quality of data is acceptable to US/UK/EU
Availability of Medical, Pharmacy & Science graduates

Demand & Supply gap in India:

If Indias clinical trial business grows to 10% of the scope seen in the U.S. by 2015, then the industry will
need approximately 70,000 recruits. India has a huge pool of scientific, pharmaceutical, and medical talent,
but the supply of trained professionals in India is approximately one-tenth of its demand. Unless research
training institutes are established, this huge gap between the demand and supply of trained personnel
cannot be bridged.
