Blockchain technology, also referred to as distributed ledger technology (DLT), serves an integral part of the pharmaceutical supply chain. It enhances the trackability and traceability of drugs and other pharmaceutical products, thereby reducing the prevalence of counterfeit drugs and medicine. The drug discovery process, which involves the identification of a relevant biological target and a corresponding pharmacological lead, is deemed crucial to the clinical success of a drug candidate. However, it is a well-known fact that, approximately 80% of the medical studies fail to produce desired results due to various errors, including fraud, data falsification, and trial misconduct. This can be taken care of by the blockchain, acting as a strong platform for an enhanced clinical practice in terms of maintaining patient records and enrolling patients for trials. It also enhances the storage and transparency of medical data. In addition, the ledger can be used to contain all the updated information along with an encrypted patient identity to secure patient data.
The "Blockchain in Drug Discovery and Clinical Trials Market: Distribution by Type of Blockchain (Public Blockchain, Private Blockchain, Hybrid Blockchain, and Other Blockchains), Type of End-User (Hospitals, Pharmaceutical Industry, Research Institutes and Academic Institutes), and Key Geographical Regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World): Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2023-2035" report features an extensive study of the current market landscape and future potential of blockchain in drug discovery and clinical trials. The report highlights the efforts of several stakeholders engaged in this rapidly emerging segment of the pharmaceutical industry and answers many key questions related to this domain.
Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, digital ledger that is used to record transactions on a common digital platform. It is worth noting, that the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the consensus of the network. Further, the technology was developed to facilitate secure transactions between different stakeholders, without involving third parties. There are few simple steps on which blockchain works:
The popularity of blockchain technology has grown invariably in the last few years. The technology has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare sector as it has emerged as a viable option to store / exchange data within the healthcare industry. Further, it provides a faster solution for tracking and authenticating medical shipments / drugs across the supply chain and during logistics operations. In addition to compiling longitudinal patient records such as disease registries, laboratory results, and treatment related data records.
Examples of some of the pharmaceutical companies using blockchain include (in alphabetic order) Amgen, Novartis, Pfizer and Sanofi.
Various types of blockchain platforms, including public blockchain, private blockchain, and consortium blockchain, are currently being used across different drug development applications (DDA), such as drug discovery, intellectual property management, electronic health record management, vaccine distribution, drug authenticity, drug supply chain, drug data management, clinical trial management, and electronic signature. It is worth highlighting that more than 50 blockchain providers offer their proprietary platforms for these applications to various industries, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and government organizations.
In recent years, the use of blockchain has been on the rise, driven by several technological advancements and the growing demand for safe and secure methods of patient recruitment, retention and data management in drug discovery and clinical trials. It is worth mentioning that the use of blockchain technology in drug discovery operations is expected to improve the overall drug development process by enabling traceability in the drug supply chain and identification of counterfeit drugs and medicines.
In recent years, the use of blockchain technology in healthcare, specifically in drug discovery and clinical trial management has been on the rise. This can be attributed to the fact that blockchain provides a faster solution for tracking and authenticating pharmaceutical products / drugs across the supply chain. In addition, clinical trial data can be saved securely over blockchain platforms / portals. Further, the technology enables patients to access to their medical data, ensuring that such data is only shared with the owner's permission.
It is worth highlighting that 500+ research articles in this domain have been published in high-impact journals over a period of six years, highlighting the substantial efforts made by researchers. Majority of these publications are research articles focused on evaluating the use of blockchain across drug supply chain and clinical trial management.
