More and more frequently, pharma companies are sending their research into less experienced countries and regions.
Too often with mixed results.
Don't mess with the company's success … Here's a first-of-its-kind report, designed specifically to help better assess and select the next clinical trial location.
Noted clinical trial statistician Dr. Johan Karlberg has collected and analyzed 7 years of industry-sponsored clinical trial data to help identify which countries and regions are the best choices for hosting clinical trials now … as well as the long-term outlook for multiyear studies.
Here are just a few examples of the invaluable findings drugmakers will want to consider:
• An average of 2,045 Phase II and II trials were initiated annually, representing 54.8 percent of all industry-sponsored trials included in the U.S. trial registry.
• The U.S. contributed 41.2 percent of all sites over the seven-year study period, while the rest of the top 10 countries together contributed 29.9 percent of sites.
• China and New Zealand both climbed 8 places in the rankings of the top 60 countries. However, India fell 10 positions.
• Asia showed a clear trend of increasing growth over the first five years of the study period, then lost 2 percent in the last two years. Eastern Europe, the largest emerging region, also lost 2 percent in the last two years.
• North America is the only location with proportionately more Phase II than Phase III trial sites. 50.4 percent of all Phase II trial sites are located to North America, compared to 42.2 percent of all Phase III trial sites.
• The European country with the largest drop in the number of trial sites, without any clear sign of recovery, is Germany, down from 6.90 percent to 5.14 percent over the seven years of observation.
Dr. Karlberg has devoted hundreds of hours to digging out and parsing these figures on global industry-sponsored clinical trials — so pharma companies don’t have to. Readers can also count on this new report to learn in greater detail about:
• Global average number of clinical trials, sites and participants
• Average cost of conducting a clinical trial, by trial phase
• The top 10 countries hosting clinical trials
• Which countries/regions are increasing clinical trial activity and which are decreasing it
• Trends in the number of new trials initiated annually
• Which countries stand out as emerging clinical trial players — and which are faltering
• What problems plague trials in Latin American countries
• And much more
With these invaluable results and Dr. Karlberg's conclusions about the future of trial globalization, pharma companies have an incredibly powerful tool to help them better understand the clinical trial climate globally — and how it is trending — in order to select the best international locations for trial sites.
