ClinStar to Present on Risk Management and Clinical Trial Rescue Planning at Outsourcing Clinical Trials West Coast

ClinStar, LLC, an established clinical research organization providing clinical development services in the emerging markets of Russia and Eastern Europe to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, announced today that they will present at Arena International's 5^th Annual Outsourcing in Clinical Trials West Coast conference January 29-30, 2013 on "Including Russia and Ukraine in your Risk Management and Rescue Study Plans."

According to Vice President Operations Richard Koenig, "Risk Management is one of the fundamentals of good project management and lagging enrollmnt is one of the key risks for any clinical trial. It can damage many other key risk areas including: schedule, budget, and quality. Unfortunately, many contingency plans inadequately address enrollment risks because they seek minor changes to existing strategies, rather than new approaches to impending threats. With markets in the West saturated with clinical trials and patient enrollment and retention more challenging than ever, the industry is embracing emerging markets to take advantage of faster enrollment rates and lower drop-out rates."

During his presentation, Mr. Koenig will discuss the enormous value and practical considerations of including Russia in your initial global clinical study planning, and minimally, in your risk management and contingency planning. Mr. Koenig will also examine how you can leverage Russia and Eastern Europe in your clinical trial rescue planning. Specifically, he will evaluate the critical elements required for a successful study transition plan, including regulatory tasks, drug storage, clinical management and investigator payments.
