BIRAC Clinical Trial Network is the national peak body that supports and represents networks of clinicians and researchers conducting quality clinical trials and maintaining clinical registries in INDIA
-
Until BIRAC - CTN, there was no single, coordinated mechanism to connect clinical researchers with governments, healthcare policymakers and consumers on issues that impact the conduct of clinical trials across India.
-
Our activities represent the priorities required to develop, implement and support a national framework to expand the capacity, capability, efficiency and effectiveness of clinical trials and clinical quality registries.
-
Man power and capacity building for a robust network and data collection for a vast and diverse registry is ongoing at the 6 primary collaborating sites approved by BIRAC across India.
-
Step by step, addition of new sites to the network will be undertaken to establish the biggest registry in India for Ophthalmology.

The need for clinical trial network
| 1 | Growing Biologics Pipeline | India has one of the biggest product pipeline, mostly for diabetes, RA, oncology, Ophthalmology |
| 2 | Lack of GCP Compliant sites | Current trial sites are insufficient for biotherapeutics product development |
| 3 | Lack of Robust registries | Data captured in ICMR(India Council of Medical Research) registries are not always useful for Trials |
