The Australian government will make it easier for researchers and companies to start up and run clinical trials by developing a new national one-stop-shop process to reduce red tape and end duplication.
At the global biotechnology and innovation convention in Boston, United States, Australia’s Minister for Health Greg Hunt, reaffirmed Australia’s commitment to be the world’s best destination for clinical trials by providing $7 million to support states and territories to redesign the trial systems to make it easier for researchers and companies to conduct clinical trials.
This will ultimately mean Australian patients get first access to the best medicines, devices and treatments in the world. The concept will be informed by a review of the clinical trial registry system in Australia, says Hunt.
