DOES HEALTH CANADA PREFER EARLY PHASE TRIAL DESIGNS OR LATE PHASE STUDIES CLOSE TO APPROVAL?

Health Canada is very open to all phases of clinical trials for both early and late phase. If the product is innovative or has the potential of being granted an NOC/c, we do recommend that sponsors meet with Health Canada early to ensure that the study trial design and the clinical development plan is aligned with the requirements for an accelerated access to market.
