CLINICAL TRIAL SOFTWARE MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Clinical trials are prospective biomedical research studies designed to evaluate medical, surgical or behavioral interventions in people and investigate novel approaches for the diagnosis and prevention / treatment of diseases. In order to gain marketing approval from regulatory authorities for a novel therapeutic intervention, highly accurate and elaborate clinical trial data is required to validate the drug's safety and effectiveness towards a specific target indication. However, there are several challenges associated with this traditional way of clinical research. Some of these include high capital investment, low patient recruitment rates and lack of robust data faced by companies involved in the development of various therapeutic interventions. This leads to inefficiency in generating sufficient clinical evidence, resulting in massive capital losses for drug developers, as well as patients accessing these life-saving therapies. In fact, manual conventional clinical trials consume almost 50% of the time during drug development. In this context, clinical trial software has gained significant attention owing to its ability for real-time analysis, data management, and tracking of the adverse impact of drugs.

In recent years, various players have developed a number of clinical trial software / clinical trial management systems, including EDC, eCOA / ePRO, and eConsent. These tools enable real-time clinical studies and improve patient compliance for drug testing and analysis. Owing to its significance, several clinical trial software market players are currently engaged in this field to develop innovative technologies. Notably, these technologies encourage successful outcomes of clinical trials and reduce the burden of pharmaceutical companies. Given the increasing demand for automated clinical trial software, the market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period.
