30 March 2012 - The Belgian Pharmaceutical Conference : latest update on clinical studies in Belgium and new recommendations for the decision makers

Since the bumper year of 2008, systematically fewer patients are able to take part in clinical studies in Belgium. The drop in Belgium is in line with the decline of clinical studies in Europe. This trend is severely impairing the number of patients who benefit from taking part in the earliest stage of treatment involving innovative medicines. After a constant rise of the number of clinical studies in Belgium over the years, this downward spiral is sounding the alarm bell. High time to act. During the Belgian Pharmaceutical Conference PricewaterhouseCoopers' Ingrid Maes, together with the FAMHP's dr. Greet Musch, who is chairing the second plenary session, presents not only an in-depth analysis of the state of affairs of clinical studies in Belgium, she also puts forward recommendations aimed at safeguarding this type of research that is essential for Belgian patients and our knowledge-based economy.
