Decentralized Clinical Trials Market Overview
The decentralized clinical trials market size was 1,291 (trials) in 2021. DCTs also known as virtual trials or direct-to-participant trials, can be defined as clinical trials that use a virtual component to assist with any aspect of the trial itself, including data analysis, data collection, enrollment, and monitoring. DCTs have less necessity in traditional research facilities and data collection structures.
It uses virtual components, such as telemedicine, in-home devices, mobile healthcare, mobile technology, wearable devices, virtual home visits, direct delivery of study drugs and materials to patients’ homes, and other virtual elements to assist with key elements of a clinical trial. The decentralized clinical trials market research report provides a breakdown of DCTs across several clinical trial sectors. The report also highlights the use of DCTs in the industry and against institutional sponsors.
DCT Market Dynamics
The greatest increase in DCT occurred during 2020–2021. DCT usage greatly increased, mainly in 2021, due to increased lockdown measures and global restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. DCT usage is still relatively high for 2022 and the year is still ongoing. North America dominated both industry and non-industry-sponsored DCTs. DCTs have proven to be cost and time-effective, especially with the use of mobile healthcare, remote patient monitoring, and electronic tracking systems.
DCT Market Segmentation by Regions
Some of the key regions in the DCT market are North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South and Central America. North America dominated industry and non-industry DCT trials.
North America is moving toward increased use of DCT trials. Big pharmaceutical sponsors based in the US are looking for new ways to streamline clinical trials, and DCTs have been proven to be effective in doing so.
