Advancing Clinical Research in Turkey, Middle East & North Africa

Industry sponsored clinical trials are increasingly conducted in emerging regions, due to escalating competition
and high costs in the more established territories of North America and Western Europe. As companies search for advantages and new opportunities, factors such as large and eager patient populations, competitive trial budgets, and faster recruitment rates at fewer sites are prompting a fundamental geographic shift in the location of studies.

While the development of Turkey, the Middle East and North African region has been limited so far, currently there is a renewed and growing interest as governments are beginning to take measures to improve regulatory requirements and harmonise clinical trial laws in order to become more involved in clinical research activities.

With it's close proximity to Europe, a large treatment naive patient population who otherwise lack access to advanced therapies, and highly motivated, Western trained capable investigative teams the Middle East and North Africa represent the last relatively untapped markets. Local knowledge and early involvement will be essential factors in generating success.

NextLevel Pharma's "Advancing clinical research in Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa" will bring together the local regulators and ethics committees, alongside experienced investigators with clinical trial experts from pharma and CROs. It will examine in detail, the key regulatory, clinical, outsourcing and environmental factors which impact clinical trials. Particular and specific attention will be given to Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Jordan & Lebanon via separate, focused conference sessions.

NextLevel Pharma's inaugural meeting on the region will provide dedicated, 1 on 1 partnering sessions enabling trial sponsor companies to meet with leading clinical solution providers in the region to discuss potential partnerships
and drive forward clinical programmes in an exciting and dynamic region.
