Marcus….re China …remember the quote I posted yesterday why BMS got into bed with a Chinese oncology company, one of the main drivers was speed of development .
Plenty of Uyghurs ready for trials under China’ genocide.
Quote from the article : “The comments appear to reflect evidence that drug candidates reach clinical proof of concept faster in China. The timeline from early discovery to clinical trial filing is 50% to 70% faster in China than the rest of the world, McKinsey found.”
David Elkins, BMS’ chief financial officer, acknowledged China’s edge at a Citi investor event in December. Working in China is a “great way to get products into humans as quickly as possible to get to proof of concept, so it’s critically important to the development cycle,” Elkins said. The CFO also noted that China was on track to overtake the U.S. and become the biggest source of new clinical trial filings globally.
