PHT Corporation and Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIOX) are sponsoring a webinar to reveal the crucial elements required to avoid operational complexities and financial risk when conducting clinical trials in emerging countries. The webinar will be held on September 23, 2009 at 12 noon EDT. Interested participants can register and gain more information at http://bit.ly/jwHIw.
PHT is the leading provider of ePRO (electronic patient reported outcome) solutions used in more than 400 clinical trials worldwide. Lionbridge is a market leader in language services with expertise in translation, linguistic validation, and interpretation services for medical device developers, pharmaceutical companies, and CROs.
Dwight Cooper, Vice President of Client Services at PHT Corporation, explained, “India, China, Eastern Europe and Latin America are commonly regarded as emerging markets for clinical trials, even though large pharmas have been leveraging these regions for years. The availability of large, diverse populations of treatment-naïve subjects imply cost savings and increasing levels of compliance. But they also carry increased operational complexities and financial risk. In this webinar, we will use our extensive clinical trial data experience to describe how to design a startup critical path to prevent unnecessary financial and data risks for sponsors and CROs.”
“We’re delighted to offer our global expertise by co-hosting this Life Sciences Webinar with PHT,” commented Mark Wade, Life Sciences Global Practice Leader at Lionbridge. “Lionbridge and PHT understand the considerations and modifications necessary when conducting clinical trials in emerging regions. We look forward to sharing our strategies for success in this joint presentation.”
PHT and Lionbridge will feature a sample study of a large Phase III trial conducted in more than 20+ countries – including emerging regions. The presentation will review the logistical issues involved with collecting clinical trial data from emerging markets such as India, China and Eastern Europe, and describe best practices for conducting clinical trials that comply with worldwide regulations and guidance for data quality and integrity traceability.
