Market Insights

Clinical trials represent an arduous step in the drug development process and are crucial to understanding the safety and efficacy profiles of novel therapeutic interventions. As these trials are prone to delays, and can even fail altogether, they impose immense financial pressure on sponsors.

Amongst several known challenges, patient recruitment is considered to be one of the rate-limiting steps when it comes to getting drugs to the market. It is estimated that 80% of clinical trials do not meet their designated patient enrolment deadlines. In fact, around 37% of research sites fail to meet their subject accrual goals, while more than 10% don't even enroll a single patient.

In addition, retaining patients is also a matter of concern, considering that the approximate dropout rate across clinical studies is around 30%. Delays in product launch, due to inability of the sponsors to recruit/retain patients, are highly common and are estimated to result in an average loss of USD 8 million per day in opportunity costs, for a blockbuster drug.

The above-mentioned challenges have led several players in the pharmaceutical industry to outsource their patient recruitment-related needs to capable, specialty service providers. Employing contract service providers has been shown to expedite the patient recruitment process. Such service providers employ a variety of outreach methods, such as social media, mobile technologies, electronic health records (EHRs) and real-world evidence (RWE), and, over time, have attained a vital role in the successful conduct of clinical research.

Although some big pharma players carry out patient recruitment in-house, the growing complexity of clinical trials and demand for niche patient populations for studies evaluating orphan drugs / personalized medicines is likely to prompt more developer companies to outsource various aspects of their clinical research-related operations in the foreseen future.

In fact, the market has recently witnessed the establishment of several partnerships, which include agreements between study sponsors and patient recruitment firms (outsourcing deals) and partnerships between stakeholders aimed to combine their respective services portfolios related to patient recruitment and retention (service alliances). This niche services industry has also witnessed some consolidation as multiple smaller players have been acquired by more established entities, in an effort to expand geographical reach.
