Key Highlights
- DCT usage is on the rise
 - North America has conducted the most DCTs
 - Mobile Healthcare is the top virtual component used
 
Scope
- The clinical trial data used for these analyses were extracted from the publisher'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
 
Reasons to Buy
- 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
