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.

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.
