Post-marketing studies in Europe are continuing to increase at a rapid pace and are being used widely to delineate additional information, including drug risks, benefits and optimal use. EU clinical trials directives will also have a dramatic impact on post-marketing studies by establishing new definitions and bringing out more uniformity.
Some of the challenges of conducting post-marketing studies in Europe are the cost and workload. Phase IV studies often have to be better designed than Phase III because they have smaller budgets, less time, multiple objectives, more public scrutiny, less regulatory protection and less-experienced investigators. The review process is also difficult and can lead to more follow up measures. Additional common problems are that Phase IV studies are poorly designed (under powered, unclear objectives and too many variables), poorly conducted (poor compliance, high variability and loss of power), poor recruitment (uninterested investigators, over-restrictive criteria) and lack of GCP compliance.
