Clinical Research in New Zealand

Experienced research personnel around New Zealand conduct local and international clinical research at public and private hospitals, universities, medical schools and research institutions.

A number of specialty phase one clinical trial units have also been established. Both local and multinational Clinical Research Organisations have a strong presence in New Zealand and many international Pharmaceutical companies conduct their research in New Zealand.

The New Zealand Advantage:

Clinical Trials in New Zealand must be registered. The Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ANZCTR) (www.actr.org.au) is available for registration of New Zealand trials, however other registries are also accepted.
