The Greater Bay Area International Clinical Trials Center (hereinafter referred to as “the Center”) is a public clinical trial service platform with global impact, established by the Shenzhen Medical Academy of Research and Translation (SMART).
The Center’s establishment is a key initiative aimed at implementing the "Development Plan for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone", issued by the State Council (State Document No. [2023] 12). It represents a crucial step in supporting Shenzhen’s efforts to become an international hub for scientific and technological innovation. It is integral to promoting the high-quality growth of the biopharmaceutical industry in the Greater Bay Area. The Center will be strategically located in the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Cooperation Zone, leveraging the area’s unique geographical and policy advantages. By connecting clinical innovation resources from across the Greater Bay Area and fostering deeper collaboration between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the Center will establish a one-stop platform for clinical trials. This platform will provide top-tier technical and operational management services to both national and international pharmaceutical and medical device development institutions. Additionally, the Center will play a pioneering role in reforming clinical trial policies and regulations, aligning local practices with international standards. It will also facilitate the creation of a Greater Bay Area biomedical innovation alliance, and increase the region's competitiveness in global biopharmaceutical industry.
In initial phase, the Center will establish five core departments: the Institutional Services and Administrative Office, the Program Development and Methodology Department, the Project Operations and Quality Management Department, the Data and Technology Department, and the Regulatory Affairs Office. These departments will be responsible for providing clinical research services, coordinating research resources, enhancing regional research capabilities, fostering innovation in clinical research, and promoting international cooperation and communication.
