India to Bounce Back As clinical Research Hub
India was considered as an all time favoured destination for clinical trials . Most of the
outsourced studies are phase III studies where India has a diverse pool of patients. After
2010 there was major setback in the CRO industry in India . Drug controller General of
India (DGCI) approvals were delayed and multinational sponsors stepped back
outsourcing studies to India . But Slowly post 2016 DGCI has been generous enough in
proving approvals and online application system has brought a lot of difference . Indian
Clinical Trial market & clinical trial services is expected to grow significantly along with
trends.

Warm Regards,
