Market Segmentation
It has been observed that the current way of conducting a traditional clinical trial is coming to an end as the rising cost of running trials together with the commercial risk of failure is unsustainable. As progress is being made toward a more digitalized scenario, clinical studies are driven by the increasing adoption of advanced technologies that rapidly accelerate the digital transformation of their processes. As clinical trials are not optional, shifting to advanced technology & digital innovation is a solution to combat the problems associated with traditional clinical trials. Digital clinical trials, which were just a concept earlier, are now on track to become a reality. Digital technology is transforming the entire process of drug development. The advent of mobile & wearables, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud technology, and associated platforms now enable the collection of frequent, precise, and multidimensional data during the length of trials.
As compared to traditional study models, the strength of the concept of virtual trial is the ability to make it easier to include patients from diverse regions, rural areas, and different socio-economic backgrounds in clinical trials. The traditional system requires many on-site procedures that consume a patient’s time. The average patient cannot take one day off every week to take part in clinical trials. Various protocols have two to five times the number of visits or procedures a patient would receive for the management of disease in the usual course of care. Thus, this increases patient burden, making it difficult to recruit & retain participants for clinical trials. Patients have to travel to sites that may be far from their homes and take an average of two to three hours to reach. Hence, only about 3% to 5% of eligible people get to enroll in clinical trials and there is a 30% dropout rate for those who do enroll in all clinical trials.
The success of clinical trials depends on the level of engagement of its clinical staff, oncologists, and patients from the very first phase. Unfortunately, several barriers are present within these groups for both psychological and logistical reasons. Consequently, less than 5% of adult patients diagnosed with cancer register in clinical trials. This is mainly due to various reasons including availability of trial, oncologist’s willingness to propose enrollment, site access, commitment of clinical staff, and patient concerns. Cancer researchers face considerable challenges in patient recruitment. As of June 2019, approximately 14,000 oncology trials were actively recruiting with a participation rate of 3% to 8% of possible candidates, with an even more limited number in minority and geriatric populations. Low rate of enrollment poses risks to the success of specific clinical trials and may hamper treatment advances & corresponding benefits to outcomes.
This section will provide insights into the contents included in this virtual clinical trials market report and help gain clarity on the structure of the report to assist readers in navigating smoothly.

Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.
Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.
This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.
Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.
The virtual clinical trials market was categorized into four segments, namely study design (Interventional, Observational, Expanded Access), indication (CNS, Autoimmune/Inflammation, Cardiovascular Disease, Metabolic/Endocrinology, Infectious Disease, Oncology, Genitourinary, Ophthalmology), phase (Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV), region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa)
The virtual clinical trials market was segmented into study design, indication, phase, and regions. The demand at a segment level was deduced using a funnel method. Concepts like the TAM, SAM, SOM, etc., were put into practice to understand the demand. We at GVR deploy three methods to deduce market estimates and determine forecasts. These methods are explained below:
Demand estimation of each product across countries/regions summed up to from the total market.
Variable analysis for demand forecast.
Demand estimation via analyzing paid database, and company financials either via annual reports or paid database.
Primary interviews for data revalidation and insight collection.
