Pharmaceutical industry body sets out steps to boost clinical trials, including regulation reform
The UK must act to reverse the decline of industry clinical trials, a group representing the pharmaceutical sector has warned.
The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry highlighted that the number of industry clinical trials has dropped in the UK. Phase 3 trial activity—those with new medicines closest to market—are particularly affected, with their number plummeting by 48 per cent since 2017, according to ABPI data.
