Why Australia is the best place in the world for Early Phase studies
The Australian Advantage is about saving time and minimizing costs while generating internationally accepted data in preparation for the next Phase.
The Australian regulatory framework is considered to be the fastest in the world for approving and undertaking Early Phase clinical research trials. Central to the accelerated clinical process is that an IND is not required in Australia, which means extremely rapid start-up for biotechs, often in under 5 weeks. Biotechs can also leverage up to 43.5% in rebates to further reduce costs. Meanwhile the exceptional scientific and medical research environment offers world-leading clinical settings for early Phase trials.
