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.
