Because of timeline pressures and cost as well as the growing interest in "neglected diseases" and diseases affecting the emerging nations, clinical trials are increasingly conducted in emerging markets and developing countries where infrastructure, leadership, skilled personnel and a governance are at a premium.

Review:

"Contributors mostly from outside of Europe and the US explore various elements required for successfully implementing clinical trials in poor countries that will be used as evidence to license drugs in rich countries." --Reference and Research Book News, August 2013

"The book brings together a panoply of academics, registration professionals, safety officers and other experts from the pharmaceutical industry and CROs... [and] uses real-life examples to present the tools available to build and enhance human capacity in order to execute clinical trials throughout the world, and is recommended for anybody interested in expanding their knowledge of international clinical trials." --Samedan LTD Pharmaceutical Publishers, Autumn 2012

In 2008, 97 (80%) of 121 FDA marketing applications for drug and biological products included non-U.S. data, including 10 (8%) with no U.S. data. The book includes contributions from 59 authors, with coverage of many countries engaged in clinical research" --Clinical Research Best Practices
