Course Description:

This seminar will help you understand the regulatory, quality and import / export requirements for Life Science Products in emerging markets - Brazil, Russia, India and China.

Improved alignment to global standards was an important step forward toward foreign access, because it eliminated the conflicting standards that prevailed among provincial government agencies. Healthcare Authorities and regulatory systems have now made their requirements and procedures more transparent to industry partners. Clinical Trials can be conducted at a fraction of the expense.

Structured healthcare systems and insurance coverage is now more prevalent among these emerging nation populations and predictions for growth of Rx and OTC products is impressive in these relatively untapped markets.

This course specifically focuses on the overall regulatory compliance requirements and procedures for Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Biologics and Combination Products in Brazil, Russia, India and China. The course will cover topics relating to pre-clinical and clinical requirements, as well as, addressing the structure of the regulatory agencies. Content will also include descriptions of the methods by which regulators review filings and registrations and what is expected in the authorization and dossier maintenance of licensed products throughout their life.

Understanding cultural norms, establishing relationships and protecting your intellectual property will also be discussed and these will need to be integrated into your company training and corporate business strategies.



Learning Objectives:

Topic Back Ground:

More than ever, the World has become one integrated market for conducting Global Clinical Research and for expanding the market for pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices and combination products. The time and expense of bringing new products to market continue to challenge budgets and existing balance sheets. While it is necessary to continue to have a robust pipeline of new patented products, global producers have been evaluating how best to begin participating in the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China. Manufacturers are looking to tap into the huge population areas of the World and bring innovative products to these patient populations. Taking products which already have existing country licenses and expanding these licenses into BRIC nations is proving to be an effective strategy for those who have begun.

The BRIC nations, as they are known (Brazil, Russia, India and China) have been improving the sophistication of their regulatory regime governing the food and Life Science products industry in recent years. This has included amending GMP ,GLP, GCP, GSP and other regulations allowing their country policies to further align with international standards of practice. This better alignment will assist the growth in these markets for new and already licensed products. For manufacturers and distributors of Life Science Products in these emerging markets, it is important to pay close attention to the pace at which their Healthcare Agencies implement these changes. Manufacturers and distributors must in turn add this knowledge and adjust their standard operating procedures when necessary to ensure compliance with the evolving regimes.

This course will be beneficial to Regulatory, Quality, Clinical, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Global Business Development and General Management personnel whose responsibilities require knowledge of these Emerging Market’s regulatory, quality and import / export requirements. Additionally, administrative staff responsible for ensuring compliance with regulatory filings and overall GCP, GMP and GLP compliance requirements will also find this training highly relevant. Global business development and general management requiring an understanding of how regulations and compliance issues must be followed in finding a local distributor / partner, setting up a company office or establishing local or contract manufacturing facility will profit from attending.

Local Attractions

The first European to set foot in California was the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who stepped on shore near this spot in in 1542. He's the guy they made this statue to look like - and named the park after. We don't know if Cabrillo climbed all the way up to the top of this promontory or not, but people who make up here nowadays get some of the best views of San Diego, looking across the Bay and back toward downtown.




Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.




Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.




The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.




Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.




Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.




In Spanish, La Jolla means "the jewel," an apt name for a pretty, Mediterranean-style seaside town - sitting on cliffs flanking the ocean.
La Jolla visitors like to shop and eat in the nice restaurants, some of them with lovely ocean views. There's a lot for the active visitor, too, including ocean kayaking, tide pool-hopping, surfing at Windansea Beach, biking or running along the waterfront.
