A TRIAL IN ARGENTINA

The main advantages of performing a trial in Argentina include location, excellence, demographics and costs:

Location:

  • Argentina has around 39 million inhabitants, 30% of the population lives in Buenos Aires downtown and suburbs (around 13 millions), facilitating communication with many sites and study medication distribution
  • The provinces of Argentina have important cities concentrating a huge population of patients of the whole area (Mendoz:,0.93 mio, Córdoba: 1.5 mio, Rosario-Santa Fe:1.8mio, Mar del Plata: 0.6mio, Tucumán: 0.84 mio, La Plata:0.78 mio)
  • Argentina is part of Mercosur (together with Brasil, Paraguay and Uruguay, Perú, Bolivia and Chile are associated), facilitating the exchange with these countries also on a regulatory level.

Excellence:

  • Argentina has an important scientific tradition with expertise investigators
  • Argentina Ministry of Health through its National Administration of Drugs and Food Technology (ANMAT) has a large experience on evaluating international trials (since 1993) and assures strict adherence to ICH-GCP guidelines meeting the regulatory standards of EMEA and FDA.
  • In the scientific environment, english is the common language and understood by all professionals

Demographics:

  • Patient population: large patient population available and willing to participate in a trial
  • Special populations (pediatric, gerontology, psychiatric, HIV naïve patients, etc)
  • Ethnic similarity to European population due to the immigration phenomenon (70-80% of the population )
  • High degree of alphabetization (97.1%, 2001), avoiding regulatory issues concerning informed consent comprehension.

Costs:
The costs in Argentina are significantly lower than for USA and Europe:

  • Investigator fees
  • Project management and monitoring fees
  • Laboratory costs and additional studies (imaging, substudies)
  • Additional pass-through costs such as travel, accommodation, courier, etc

  

llbm Once you need to decide which countries should be involved in your trial, you should consider Argentina, a huge country in the most southern extreme of America, with around 40mio inhabitants and a very good health system ranking, locating us above many eastern Europe countries in position 49 under 191 countries according to the WHO overall health system attainment report. llbm
