A total of 4,142 babies were involved in clinical trials since January 1, 2006, and more than half of them were under the age of one. Shakti Kumar Gupta, head of administration for the state-run All-India Institute of Medical Sciences, mentions that he wants tougher and stricter regulations for clinical trials business in India, since it is now a 120 million a year industry growing at about 25 percent annually.
Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss mentions:
"Earlier we had guidelines on how trials need to be conducted. Soon we will have a law."
A committee is expected to submit their findings later on next week. How will this affect partnerships with CROs in the future?
