Executive Summary
January 2007 will see the next work phase of a US/Japan think tank that is designed to address the concept of global clinical trials and examine regulatory barriers that may be impediments to timely cardiovascular device approvals. Durham, North Carolina will be the host location of "HBD Think Tank West", which will take up where the Tokyo, Japan-hosted "HBD Think Tank East" - the inaugural session in this programme - left off in December 2005.
