How Sponsors Could Gain Advantage by Embracing Dose Optimisation in Asia by 2026

In 2026, oncology drug development in Asia may move away from the historical maximum tolerated dose (MTD) paradigm toward evidence-based dose optimisation. Sponsors might consider adopting strategies similar to the FDA's Project Optimus, which emphasises selecting doses that balance efficacy and safety rather than relying solely on toxicity thresholds. Doing so could improve patient outcomes and position companies favourably as regulatory expectations evolve.

Clinical Research Trends 2026: Hybrid DCTs Set for Surge as Innovation Outpaces Regulatory Hurdles

APAC's openness to innovation, combined with its large population and low trial density, creates strong potential for expanding decentralised clinical trials (DCTs), especially for patients with limited trial access. While regulatory diversity and operational challenges will continue to hinder fully decentralised models, the region is expected to adopt more digital technologies in clinical research. As a result, hybrid DCTs will keep gaining traction, and effective management of digitally collected data will remain a central focus for data science teams.

Rise of Global MedTech Innovation in APAC

Asia Pacific (APAC) region has become a key global hub for MedTech innovation, shifting from a cost focused region to a centre of early commercialisation, clinical validation and scalable solutions. Reports have revealed that the share of MedTech startups, over the years, from outside the region has doubled, from 15 per cent to 30 per cent, highlighting rising global interest in APAC as a strategic entry point. This shift is primarily driven by MedTech startups from the US, the UK, and Canada. Additionally, global companies are making efforts to nurture MedTech innovations in the region. Let's take a closer look at how this trend will shape up for 2026.

Free Trade Agreements: Catalysts for Asia's Pharma Growth and Global Access

Asia has emerged as a pivotal hub in the global pharmaceutical landscape. With countries like India, China, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore driving significant production, research, and innovation, the region accounts for an increasingly large share of global pharmaceutical output. Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are reshaping this scenario, serving as strategic instruments to reduce trade barriers, streamline regulatory frameworks, and foster regional and global collaboration. By lowering tariffs, simplifying customs procedures, and providing stronger intellectual property protections, FTAs enable pharmaceutical companies to access new markets more efficiently, scale production, and offer affordable medicines worldwide.
