This is completely misleading. After 2012/13 Supreme Court Case, entire set of new regulations have been implemented which ensures safety of subjects, audio-video informed consent, registration of ethics committees, patient compensation, speedy approvals, and now accreditation of ethics committees, sites and investigators. Currently over 700 trials are being conducted in India by various Indian and multinational companies. Clinical trials are growing at a rapid pace again. Moreover, Pharmacovigilance and other areas are not impacted by this, as these opportunities are independent of clinical trials. These outsourcing projects have no correlation with any Indian regulations.
