New?Centre for Medicines Research (CMR) Clinical Factbook From Clarivate Highlights Increasing Cost and Complexity of Phase II Trials

Canada NewsWire

  • Phase IIhas the highest proportion of amendments with85%of all trials having amendments. 20% of all Phase II trials have 5+ amendments. Phase II trials incur the highest cost per subject at >US$90,000per subject.1
  • Asia PacificandNorth America initiated a similar number of trials between 2014 and 2018. A number of biotechnology and emerging domestic companies particularly within China are driving growth within this region.
  • Despite the high volume of trials in the APAC region, the majority of patients are being recruited from north America.

Mukhtar Ahmed, President, Science Group, Clarivate, said: “The importance of the Phase II study cannot be overstated.  Today however, as our data clearly shows, companies are as strategically focused on Phase II studies as they are on Phase III. We see this in both the overall duration of Phase II trials, which are now almost equivalent in length, and the average cost per patient.  This data highlights the increasing use of biomarkers and more complex trial designs in Phase II, where companies are increasingly focused on accelerating the delivery of products to patients.  This is also reflected in the number of protocol amendments for Phase II trials, underscoring the increasing need to do more analytics and use real-world data to inform the design of trials. Trials must be planned in the most optimal way to accelerate therapeutic outcomes and value for patients and decrease cost of bringing new medicines to market.”
