Pulmonary Clinical Trials: Philippines Insights

This expert‑led webinar provides a practical view of the Philippines’ readiness for global pulmonary clinical trials, with a focus on asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Designed for U.S.‑based and global sponsors exploring Asia‑Pacific expansion, the session brings together regulatory leadership, IQVIA experts and experienced local investigators to share sponsor‑relevant insights.

The webinar opens with Dr. Jaime Carlos Montoya, Former Executive Director of Philippine Council for Health Research and Development on the national vision for advancing clinical research. Head of R&DS Operations, ANZ, SEA and India, Ben Laverty follows by framing the strategic role of the Philippines within regional and global pulmonary development programs.

Leading pulmonology investigators from major Philippine hospitals and academic centres share first‑hand experience conducting asthma and COPD trials, covering patient pathways, recruitment and retention dynamics, site capability, diagnostic workflows and trial start‑up timelines. Together, the discussion offers a clear, operational perspective on how pulmonary clinical trials are designed and delivered in the Philippines today and how the country can complement established trial markets.
