Clinical Trials

[jpm]

Hi,

Clinical Trials - Everyone talks about the FDA trials - which I presume is solely American?

What about the rest of the world, how do these treatments get passed for approval say in the UK/EU/Asia etc. Is it a case that as soon as they pass FDA trials they can be sold anywhere in the world. I never hear of any other country doing trials on these new treatments.

Also, people have mentioned that treatments could be available in Asia sooner than other countries? Why is this?

Cheers
