Challenges and Opportunities for Drug Innovation in China
The challenges lie in insufficient IPR protection, reviewing and approving process for clinical research for new drugs, drug administration and licensing system, clinical research resources, compliance of GCP and market access which is not encouraging drug innovation. Recently, importance of drug innovation has been recognized and reflected in the 12th 5 year plan and some measures have been initiated by the government and industrial groups, but lots of effort are still needed to create a more R&D friendly environment for drug innovation in China.

Bridging Research and Development Fast to POC
This presentation will elaborate ways to improve probability of success for compounds and to decresase compound development time. With innovative technology advancement in target delivery and formulation development, many of the previously non-developable compounds could be developed for market uses. In many ways, this could revolutionize the drug development landscape in future. With the right regulation in place from SFDA, China could play a significant role in this exciting development period.

Drug Discovery in China, an IMPACT Perspective
The flagging productivity in the pharmaceutical R&D is largely due to disconnection between in vitro and in vivo evaluation of both drug-likeness and pharmacological properties; as well as disconnection between preclinical and clinical significance. The presentation will be focused on a new business model with successful cases.

Long Term Sustained Release Formulation of a Novel Dopamine Receptor Agonist A Potential Continuous Dopaminergic Simulation for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
In the de novo patient it is believed that providing a more continuous dopaminergic stimulation (CDS) from the start of antiparkinson therapy may prevent priming for motor fluctuations and dyskinesia. But there is no available formulation of CDS in the clinic application, except infusion, up to date. Long term sustained release system of the microspheres has the potential to offer CDS treatment of Parkinson's patients.

Benefits and Challenges of Conducting PreClinical Safety Study in China: Perspective from a Drug Development Company
The preclinical development in China has been established and rapidly progressed during last several years. Recently, the pharmaceutical companies and CROs continue to make solid progress in China and are moving into conducting late stage drug development studies, such as GLP toxicity study, to support the clinical trials and drug registration. This presentation will focus on illustrating the benefits and challenges of conducting preclinical toxicity study in China and discuss the strategies or solutions of overcoming some of these challenges based on the working experiences with different preclinical CROs.

Adventuring into Preclinical Development in China
GLP concept has been implemented in a fast pace in China. As one of the critical paths, pivotal preclinical data are expected to be generated from qualified CROs in China to support MNC's regional and global new drug submission. For small pharma, quality preclinical data are also highly valued to gain international acceptance. In today's Chinese preclinical arena, however, there are still lots of challenges to tackle such as the shortage of trained professionals, ICH guideline implementation, and acceptance with OECD MAD.
