Navigating Changes in China's Registration & Regulatory Process

Wednesday, October 12th, 2:30pm - 3:45pm

To successfully introduce a new product in China requires in-depth knowledge of Chinese regulatory requirements.  At the same time, sponsors are increasingly looking to conduct trials simultaneously in multiple countries, putting a premium on a regulatory system that has strong standards that are similar among countries.  How are changes in China's regulatory structure supporting increased innovation?  How is the SFDA operating in a manner to foster both more rapid drug development to improve public health and internationally simultaneous trials?  Are there constraints that make changes to the registration and regulatory process more difficult to achieve?  In this session, experienced representatives from multi-national and local Chinese companies will discuss the registration process for products manufactured in China, import licensing issues for products exported to China, and the connotations of these processes for innovative global drug development.
