E-drug: Industry clinical trials in developing countries (cont'd)
---------------------------------------------

Sonia,

This subject has been discussed by  several colleagues on the Spanish
version of this list, e-farmacos., which also has searchable archives. You
will also find another Spanish-language publication,   Boletín Farmacos,
helpful. .

I have seen reports in various Latin American media sources on the topic,
but these often  are not translated into English. One that was  appeared in
Clarin, a major newspaper  from Buenos Aires in May of '03. However,  no
drugs nor drug companies were mentioned by name.

The Boston Globe ran an article on the topic recently:

>  The following story appeared in The Globe Online:
>  Headline: Clinical trials seen shifting out of US
>  Date: 7/11/2003
>  Byline:
>
>  " Drug companies are recruiting more and more of their subjects for
>  clinical trials in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and other overseas
>  locales because of a shortage of American subjects, according to a
>  Tufts University study released yesterday."
