Local Compulsory Insurance of the life and health of a
patient involved in clinical trials
Contracts with the study sites
External Logistics – advance shipment of IMP and study
materials to Russia (drug labels, CoAs, Proforma invoices,
import approval)
Internal Logistics of IMP and biosamples – distances and

Getting marketing authorization (1)
Page / 12
According to current legislation* the process of drug
registration should not take more than 210 business days
from the moment of submission of MA Application
This term includes the time necessary for repeated expertise (if needed),but does not include the time, necessary for the clinical trial conduction
In practice the process of marketing authorization takes
around 1 year

conclusions
Russia is especially a good place for clinical trials when a big
number of patients is to be recruited in short timelines,
disease is rare, and the drug is planned for marketing in
Russia. Areas to be carefully addressed: regulatory timelines
& logistics of IMP and biosamples, Contracts with sites.
Russia is becoming more popular (based on KCR internal
data, ACTO and clinicaltrials.gov data).
Clinical trial approval and marketing authorization are not
difficult to get in case one accurately follows local
requirements and practices.
