CPMS, in partnership with the China Pretrials 2010: Global Preclinical Development Summit (October 17-19, 2010), is hosting tours of the top CROs in the Beijing and Shanghai areas.
The tours are designed to explore and evaluate top Chinese pre-clinical safety evaluation CROs, especially with regard to GLP toxicity studies. They provide a cost-effective, “hands-on” opportunity for group evaluation to determine whether these facilities are performing according to global standards, and provide assurance that they can conduct work for Western clients.
We will visit:
- 4 facilities (over a 2-day period) in the Beijing area before the conference
- 4 facilities (over a 2-day period) in the Shanghai area after the conference
This project is an extension to our hosted evaluations of Chinese CROs which has been on-going since late 2005. It is the successor project to the completed China Tox I & II Evaluation projects that have assessed Chinese CROs and their ability to perform according to Western expectations. These projects have successfully evaluated operational facilities, animal care and use practices, and GLP maturity of top-rated, pre-clinical safety facilities in China. However, the industry in general is not static and in China the rate of change and maturity of this segment has been quite dramatic. Thus, this project will focus on revisiting the question of whether these facilities have continued to develop their capacities and compliance to Western expectations. The tour will provide an opportunity to develop relationships with the test facilities, as well as provide feedback and insights for further development.
