International Medical Device Trials Conference

Understanding International Regulatory Standards, Logistical & Resource Challenges for the Trial Site, and Considering Strategic Endpoints for Approvals & Reimbursement.

March 11-12, 2008
Palo Alto, CA

As the Medical Device industry continues to find a rather saturated market for their clinical trials; with many top hospitals and health centers already conducting research studies on competing products, companies are turning to countries abroad to conduct their clinical research.  Studies in Western Europe have been conducted for many years, with many top producing companies located in those countries.  Japan also has an advanced medical device market and excellent network for clinical research.  Emerging locations in Eastern Europe, India, Africa, Asia Pacific and Latin America are now on the horizon, but while potentially fertile ground for research studies, they are also uncharted territory for the Medical Device Industry.
