Track 1:Pre-Clinical Research

Pre-clinical research also named preclinical studies and nonclinical studies is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials, and during which important feasibility, iterative testing and drug safety data is collected. The main goals of pre-clinical studies are to determine the safe dose for First-in-man study and start to assess product's safety profile. Products may include new or iterated or like-kind medical devices, drugs, etc.

A study of 10 major countries that are major sources of preclinical outsourcing suggested that spending on preclinical outsourcing is increasing every year. In 2014, total outsourcing spending accounted for 13.8% of total preclinical spending, with in-house spending accounting for the remaining 86.2%. Countries such as India and China are able to provide a cost advantage of 50% to 60%, making them attractive destinations for preclinical research outsourcing. &D spending on pharmaceuticals in the U.S. has increased from $21.9 billion in 1996 to $65.3 billion in 2009, while NDA/BLA approvals decreased from 53 in 1996 to 25 in 2009. The ever-increasing cost of drug development in the U.S. is driving large pharmaceutical companies to outsource preclinical work to low cost countries such as India and China. Large pharmaceutical companies based in the UK, France, Germany and Switzerland, also account for a large share of preclinical outsourcing.

Track 2:Conducts of Clinical Trials

Clinical trials, also known as clinical studies that follows a pre-defined plan or protocol. Researchers design clinical trials (Clinical study designs) to answer specific research questions related to a medical product. A clinical study involves research using human volunteers (also called participants) that is intended to add to medical knowledge

Clinical Trials and debates associated with it have been in headlines since past few months pursuant to the strict view taken by the apex court on the matter. The number of deaths in India resulting from clinical trials has increased to an unendurable figure of 2,868 during the period 2005-2021. If on the one hand this figure relating to number of deaths resulting from clinical trials is fearful, on the other hand the decline in the number of clinical trials and approval given for conducting such trials in last few months is equally shocking. Till April 2013, only 12 (twelve) clinical trials have been approved by the authority as compared to almost a three digit figure in last years. This certainly raises a concern for the future of clinical trials in India- country which once was perceived as a fertile place for growth of clinical trials by most of the multi-national corporations. Currently estimated at USD 500 million, India's clinical research market was projected to more than double and cross USD one billion mark by 2016 driven by favourable factors like diverse and accessible population, availability of low cost and effective resources

Track 4:Innovations in Clinical Trials

Clinical trials for the development of a new drug are, for the most part, initiated and financed by industry. There are also many clinical trials initiated by academic clinical researchers. Whether initiated by industry or by academic clinical investigators clinical research is often performed in national, European and worldwide consortia, which can sometimes, be very large ones. Clinical research raises profound ethical and safety questions. The protection of participants in a clinical trial is of paramount importance. As a consequence, clinical research is highly regulated. To facilitate collaborations across borders, many aspects of this regulation are harmonized at the European level but also worldwide.

The global market for E-Clinical Trial Technologies is projected to reach US$3.7 billion by 2020, driven by the rising number of clinical studies, and mounting pressure to contain costs and expedite the clinical trial process. North America remains the most prominent market worldwide, supported by the strict legislative and regulatory atmosphere, and escalating clinical trial expenditure. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 13.6% over the analysis period. Developing economies with large heterogeneous patient pools and high diseases prevalence are attractive locations for conducting clinical trials.

Track 5:Clinical Data Management and Statistics

The process of identification, analysis and either acceptance or mitigation of uncertainty in investment decision-making  Essentially, risk management occurs anytime an investor or fund manager analyzes and attempts to quantify the potential for losses in an investment and then takes the appropriate action given their investment objectives and risk tolerance. Inadequate risk management can result in severe consequences for companies as well as individuals. A practice used by different companies to reduce costs by transferring portions of work to outside suppliers rather than completing it internally is called Outsourcing. It is a very important tool for reducing cost and improving quality. If an organization does one or all its work by itself, its work may affect its production quality, so an organization must realize some important areas, from which its cost is reduced and its products stay in high quality.

Clinical Data Management (CDM) industry is the fastest growing and possibly the most profitable segment in Bio Services industry. During 2006-07 it grew to USD40 million, a growth of 53% over the previous year. There are over 70 companies in India offering services in this niche area. Most of them find it a logical extension of their other Bio services business. They include Contract Research Organisations, Clinical Trial Organisations, IT services companies and hospitals. Out sourced Clinical trials to India is a prime growth driver for this market, though they are a few large dedicated CDM companies as well. Indian clinical trials market in 2006 was USD140m and has been growing at a CAGR of 40% for the last 3 years and is likely to scale up to USD600 million by 2010. Correspondingly, CDM market is expected to ramp up to USD150 million by the same time.

Track 6:Clinical Research and Trials on Diabetes / Cancer / AIDS

Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases characterized by the uncontrolled, abnormal growth of cells. These cells form a lump or mass called a tumor. Cancers are divided in to types based on where it begins.

·         Carcinomas: A carcinoma begins in the skin or the tissue that covers the surface of internal organs and glands. Carcinomas usually form solid tumors. They are the most common type of cancer. Examples of carcinomas include prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer.

  • Sarcomas: A sarcoma begins in the tissues that support and connect the body. A sarcoma can develop in fat, muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, blood or lymph vessels, cartilage, or bone.
  • Leukemias: Leukemia is a cancer of the blood. Leukemia begins when healthy blood cells change and grow uncontrollably. The four main types of leukemia are acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia.
  • Lymphomas: Lymphoma is a cancer that begins in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and glands that help fight infection. There are two main types of lymphomas: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • In this session we listed most common and major cancers in male and female to discuss, example Breast Cancer, Brain cancer, Liver cancer, Blood cancer, Brain cancer, Prostate cancer, Kidney cancer and Pancreatic Cancer etc.

 

The global oncology drugs market is expected to reach at $111.9 billion by 2020. Patent expiration of key cancer drugs such as Herceptin, Erbitux, Rituxan and Avastin, is expected to boost the growth of cancer biosimilars market by 2020. Going further, the biological therapies are expected to dominate the market by 2020, due to their high efficacy, target specific action and less toxicity. Blood cancer drugs market was the largest revenue generating segment in 2013 owing to the high cost of drugs (immunotherapies) used for the treatment of blood cancer. Geographically, North America, dominates the market followed by Europe. North America accounted for about ~38% share in the overall oncology drugs market in 2013 owing to the heavy investments by multinational companies in research and development of cancer drugs, particularly immune therapeutics, favorable reimbursement policies, and high adoption rate of immunotherapies. On the other hand, Asia-Pacific market would grow at the promising CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. Such high growth rate is majorly due to increasing awareness towards advanced therapies namely immunotherapies and increase in per capita healthcare spending.

  • Track 6-5Clinical research and Trials on HIV/AIDS

Track 7:Clinical Trials on different Diseases and Medical Devices

Clinical Trials for different diseases and disorders are conducted for evaluating one or more interventions (for example, drugs, medical devices, approaches to surgery or radiation therapy) for treating a disease, syndrome, or condition and also finding ways to prevent the initial development or recurrence of a disease or condition. These can include medicines, vaccines, or lifestyle changes, among other approaches.

The lack of specificity in available AD tests has become a major burden on AD therapeutics development programs, which hold a relatively high 99.6% failure rate. Part of the problem is the 20% to 50% of clinical trial participants who are not suffering from AD, but another form of dementia, that dilute and complicate trial data across sites. The development of treatments effective in the early onset of AD also requires patients to be effectively screened for AD risk and MCI. Responding to outstanding pharmaceutical industry demand for effective AD screening, Amarantus BioScience adjusted its development plan for its AD assay to focus on investigational use only (IUO) applications initially rather than CLIA clearance. The company plans to target a $150 million opportunity in supplying tests and biomarker services to pharmaceutical clients involved in AD therapeutics development.

Track 8:Clinical Trials (Countries/Continents)

Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether a medical strategy, treatment, or device is safe and effective for humans. Study show which medical approaches work best for certain illnesses or groups of people.  The purpose of clinical trials is research, so the studies follow strict scientific standards. These standards protect patients and help produce reliable study results. Clinical trials are one of the final stages of a long and careful research process. Clinical trials are conducted for every disease. The main reason for carrying out trials is to determine whether one treatment is better than another, 19% on average increase in number of registration per year in Clinical Trials, 47.0% increase in Market Investment in Clinical Trials from 2013-2015

Clinical Trials Management System has made enormous progress in past few years, and according to Transparency Market Research the estimated net worth is approximately US$844 million in 2013, while growing at a compound annual growth rate of 14% during the forecast period, the worldwide Clinical Trials Management System market is expected to acquire market value worth US$1,848.5 million by 2019.  United States is the major center in the field of Clinical Trials.

Track 9:CRO/ Sponsorship and Future of Clinical Trials

With the increasing challenges associated with bringing a medical product to market, and skyrocketing R&D costs, there has been a shift in biopharmaceutical commercialization and clinical trial strategies in order to minimize risk and maximize success.  It is estimated that bringing medical products to market costs $1.3 billion and 1 out of every 5000 experimental compounds achieve FDA approval. Moreover, market saturation in many disease modalities is also forcing biopharmaceutical enterprises to focus their efforts on accessing patients with orphan/rare diseases.
 
The future of clinical trials illustrated as follows. Access and engage the patient online – Attract patients to the trial – Consent patients & convert to subjects – Remotely manage subjects & collect data. The sponsor plans to engage the patient through social media, such as Facebook, and regular e-mail updates in order to attract the patient to the trial, and once the patient agrees to learn more about the trial, the sponsor mails the patient a package containing mobile health devices, which collect medical diagnostic data and sends that data to the sponsor.  The patient turns on the tablet, which contains an electronic consent and a video of a physician explaining the clinical trial in detail. Humanization in digital media is believed to be an effective tool that is used to communicate with patients. During the clinical trial, the subject is able to access live physicians either virtually or through nearby medical community centers. Remote nurses visit the subject at their homes to collect samples.  In addition, the patient uses the mobile health device to automatically upload study data directly to the sponsor's EDC database.
 

Based on our research, we forecast that the global clinical trial service market will likely reach more than $64 B by 2020, up from $38.4 B at present, representing a CAGR of 9% between 2015 and 2020. By 2020 the average clinical trial outsourcing penetration will likely reach around 72%. In other words, by then close to three fourths of clinical trials will likely be performed by professional CROs.

Track 10:Clinical Trial Supply Management

The conduct of clinical trials is one of the most expensive aspects of the development of new medicinal products. It is important, therefore, that the studies should produce high-quality data in the shortest possible time. More companies are trying to use single, larger, complicated trials in an attempt to gain the greatest amount of information about a product and thus reduce the lead time to market. A key element in ensuring this goal is the close cooperation between those responsible for the provision of the clinical trial supplies. The provision of clinical trial supplies is usually organized by a special group, often within the product development department, and it is prudent to discuss a proposed trial with this group at an early stage so that any potential difficulties can be identified and resolved. The major steps in clinical trial supplies are 1)Placing an order for clinical trial supplies, 2) Manufacturing of clinical trial supplies, 3) Blinding of clinical trial supplies, 4) Obtaining comparators, 5) Packaging, 6) Labelling, 7) Documentation, 8) Expiry dating, 9) Dispatch of supplies, 10) Disposal of clinical trial supplies.
 
The value of some study drugs can reach tens of millions of dollars, making it essential to avoid overproduction, oversupply, and inventory expiration.  With the high costs and strict handling requirements for many biopharmaceutical products entering clinical development, the logistics of clinical trial supplies are more critical than ever.
 
Clinical Trial Supplies Market by Products & Services (Logistics & Distribution, Manufacturing, Packaging and Labeling), Phases (Phase I, Phase II, Phase III) & Therapeutic Areas (CNS & Mental Disorders, Cardiovascular, Oncology) - Global Forecast to 2020. The clinical trial supplies market is expected to reach USD 1,274.3 million by 2020 from USD 904.3 million in 2015, at a CAGR of 7.1%. The global clinical trial supplies market is segmented based on products and services, phases, therapeutic areas, and regions. The logistics and distribution services segment is expected to register the highest growth rate in the clinical trial supplies market, by products and services, during the forecast period. The high growth in this segment is attributed to the globalization of clinical trials and increasing outsourcing services.

The major factors contributing to the growth of the clinical trial supplies market include globalization of clinical trial activities, increasing R&D investments and government support, and rising incidences of various diseases. Furthermore, increasing expansion activities by CROs is another major factor driving the growth of this market.

Track 11:Bioethics, Quality Regulation and Case Reports

Bioethics is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new situations and possibilities brought about by advances in medicine. It is also moral discernment as it relates to medical policy, practice, and research. Bioethicists are concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences, biotechnology, medicine, clinical research, and philosophy etc. One of the first areas addressed by modern bioethicists was that of human experimentation. The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research was initially established in 1974 to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects.
 

Improvements in FDA review process efficiency and more frequent and timely interactions with FDA Overall; the therapeutic area with the highest clinical research burden across all phases is respiratory system ($115.3 million) followed by pain and anaesthesia ($105.4 million) and oncology ($78.6 million) trials. Use of lower-cost facilities/in-home testing and wider use of mobile technologies appear to be most effective in reducing costs across therapeutic areas and trial phases. Use of lower-cost facilities and/or in-home testing can reduce per-trial costs by up to $0.8 million (16 percent) in Phase 1, $4.3 million (22 percent) in Phase 2, and $9.1 million (17 percent) in Phase 3, depending on therapeutic area

 
Clinical research ethics are the set of relevant ethics considered in the conduct of a clinical trial in the field of clinical research. It borrows from the broader fields of research ethics and medical ethics. Quality of clinical trials depends on data integrity and subject protection. Globalization, outsourcing and increasing complexity of clinical trials have made the target of achieving global quality challenging. The quality, as judged by regulatory inspections of the investigator sites, sponsors/contract research organizations and Institutional Review Board, has been of concern to the US Food and Drug Administration, as there has been hardly any change in frequency and nature of common deficiencies. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is the universal ethical and scientific quality standard for conducting clinical trials. The GCP standard applies to all aspects of the clinical trial process.

Track 13:Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics

A case report is a means of communicating something new that has been learnt from clinical practice. It could be about an unusual or previously unknown condition, a rare presentation or complication of a known disease, or even a new approach to managing a common condition. A case report provides the detailed report of symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient. Case reports may contain a demographic profile of the patient and play major role in the field of medical research and evidenced based medicine. Moreover, case reports can serve as an early warning signal for the adverse effects of new medications, or the presentations of new and emerging diseases.

Track 14:Toxicogenomics Challenges and Applications

Heart and blood vessel disease also called cardiovascular disease includes numerous problems, many of which are related to a process called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms, it can stop the blood flow. This can cause a heart attack or stroke.

There are four main types of cardiovascular diseases. They are:

  • Coronary heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Peripheral arterial disease
  • Aortic disease

Track 15:Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety

The pharmacovigilance is related to collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products, and it is needed in different stages of product life cycle, and the safety surveillance and risk management. Information received from patients and healthcare providers via pharmacovigilance agreements, plays a critical role in providing the data necessary for Pharmacovigilance to take place, in order to market or to test a pharmaceutical product, adverse event data must be submitted to the local drug regulatory authority. Finally pharmacovigilance is concerned with identifying the hazards associated with pharmaceutical products and with minimizing the risk of any harm that may come to patients by safety surveillance and risk management

The global pharmacovigilance market was valued at USD 2,408.0 million in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period. ADR represents a substantial burden on healthcare systems and is one of the prominent reasons of morbidity in developed countries. Approximately 5% of total hospitalizations in a year are due to ADR which makes reporting and preventing of the same a notable growth fuelling factor for this market. Growing prevalence of chronic disorders coupled with rising geriatric population base has heightened the need for new drug development. With an upsurge in the drug production, regulatory authorities such as the U.S. FDA and EMEA (European Medicines Agency) have intensified drug safety regulations prior and post commercialization. Growing complexity of drug safety regulations is thus, expected to boost market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, there is an additional pressure from the regulators for electronic submission especially in European countries which would further accentuate the demand for this market in this region
