Clinical Trials - Impact of COVID-19 and Long COVID
Summary
This report provides an overview of global COVID-19 clinical trials, long COVID clinical trials, and trials disrupted by COVID-19.
Scope
- The clinical trials data used for these analyses were extracted from GlobalData’s Clinical Trials Database. The data was captured in the database as of April 12, 2023. The data was analyzed and segmented by COVID-19 trials, COVID-19 trials for vaccines and therapeutics, and long COVID trials. An analysis was also completed on non-COVID trials impacted due to the pandemic.
- Trends of COVID-19 trials through the years
- Comparison of trials by phase, sponsor type and status
- Geographic analysis
- Focus on top sponsors for vaccine and therapeutic trials
- Long COVID analysis
- COVID-19 impact on trials
