Clinical Trials - The Movement Towards Decentralized Clinical Trials
Summary
This report provides an analysis on DCT's/Virtual trials.
Key Highlights
- DCT usage is on the rise
- North America has conducted the most DCTs
- Mobile Healthcare is the top virtual component used
- The clinical trial data used for these analyses were extracted from GlobalData’s Clinical Trials Database. The report focuses on DCT trials that were initiated between 2001 to 2022.
- The data have been analyzed by year, phase, status, therapy area, indication, geography, sponsor type (top industry sponsors versus non-industry sponsors), and reasons for discontinuation. In this report, a small number of Phase 0, Phase I/II, Phase II/III, and Phase III/IV trials were combined with Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV trials, respectively.
- Provides a breakdown of DCT's across a number of clinical trial sectors.
- Identifies which areas are using DCT's the most.
- Highlights the use of DCT's in the industry and against institutional sponsors.
