Liver diseases are highly prevalent in the Asia-Pacific region. The region hosts some of the most active key opinion leaders and investigators with strong experience working with biotechnology companies on hepatology trials.

The leading Asia-Pacific biotech specialist CRO Novotech has released a new webinar about the advantages of conducting hepatology clinical trials in the Asia-Pacific.

The panel included leading key opinion leaders from Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, as well as a US-based biotech sponsor.

Given the high incidence of liver-related diseases in Asia Pacific, it really has become a core area of focus for Asia-Pacific biotech CRO Novotech.

Biotech sponsors are experiencing very high patient enrolment rate for clinical studies in the Asia-Pacific region across a broad range of liver and metabolic conditions.

According to biotech sponsors, the clinical trial application process is very straight forward in the region with a low risk for regulatory drama. Furthermore, biotech sponsors may end up amending protocols several times to expand studies, and that amendment process is extremely rapid across Asia-Pacific particularly in Australia and New Zealand.
