Does India Have A Bright Clinical Research
Future?
The few years after 2013 saw a drop in clinical
research being done in India, on account of
regulatory uncertainty, judicial and social
activism, and media sensationalism. This made
the clinical research fraternity disturbed and
concerned. The Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare then took steps to address the challenges
posed by regulatory uncertainty. Regulations
were amended, and guidance was given on existing
ones. These were very significant moves to help
the clinical research industry mend itself and
move forward to a positive commitment.
The changes that have been brought about have
brought immense success to the clinical research
industry. But, these changes definitely need to
be sustained for better outcomes. Indian
regulators have adopted an inclusive approach,
where multi- stakeholder feedback has been
actively sought and acted upon. This must also be
continued. The entire regulatory system must be
balanced, and aligned with global trends. In
fact, all the developments made must send out a
strong signal to the global clinical research
community that we are committed to a robust
regulatory environment with focus on patient
safety, protection, and transparency. When
elements like informed consent, transparency,
restricting the liability of sponsors,
registrations, and applicability of stringent
laws are all balanced together can help India go
a long way to strike a balance between the
interest of subjects and growth of clinical
trials in India.

With all the changes made, India is ready to
compete with international standards of health
services. This is why many companies are
re-investing in India for their research and
development. At present, the Indian environment
is again becoming advantageous for conducting
clinical trials. However, it is essential that
the goal should be conducting quality trials
that bring the best outcomes, while assuring
patient protection and data integrity of the
trial. A genetically diverse patient pool, a vast
population i n need of medical treatment, a
large disease burden, qualified medical
professionals, data specialists, clinicians, and
good regulatory practices as per global standards
all of this make India a favourable
destination for clinical research in the
future. This clearly shows that opting for a
career in clinical research will bring bright
prospects. So, getting trained at the right

research career. Avigna Clinical Research
