Description

This chapter provides an overview of the increasingly important role of emerging markets in Alzheimer’s disease trials, particularly Eastern Europe, where there is a robust population of accurately diagnosed subjects for trial participation, and recruitment rates are on a par with those in Western Europe and the USA. Some of the challenges and opportunities involved in global trials are discussed, such as the potential for high recruitment, availability and compliance with biomarker assessments, reimbursement of background medications, and the overall efficiency of the sites’ and countries’ performance.
