The COVID-19 pandemic has altered clinical trials timelines and protocols for many pharmaceutical companies, but technological advancements have enabled savvy drug developers to make continued progress by switching many aspects of on-site clinical trials to virtual modes.

Best Practices, LLC conducted this benchmarking research to identify the best-in-class practices for managing clinical trials during the COVID-19 pandemic. This report examines the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on trials timelines, finances, data collection protocols, and staffing levels.

The report also
analyzes new trends in the management of virtual clinical trials, benefits of virtual clinical trials, and key learnings from industry leaders in managing clinical trials during COVID-19 and beyond.

Industries Profiled:
Medical Device; Biotech; Biopharmaceutical; Clinical Research; Pharmaceutical; Health Care; Computer Software; Telecommunications; Laboratories


Companies Profiled:
Alcon; Alnylam Pharmaceuticals; Aptus Clinical; Atara Biotherapeutics; Cipla; CSL Behring; Cytiva; Idorsia; Kyowa Kirin; MedinCell; Merck; Novartis; Ora; Inc.; Sanofi; United BioSource

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 18 leaders from 15 life science organizations in this research through a benchmarking survey. More than half of the research participants serve at the director or executive level.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Clinical Trials
  • Virtual Clinical Trials
  • Clinical Trial Data Collection
  • Benefits of Virtual Clinical Trials
  • Staffing Changes During the Pandemic
  • Key Learnings on Managing Trials During the Pandemic


Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

  • Delay in Clinical Trials: Many companies have delayed clinical trials by 3 to 6 months. About 2 in 10 trials have halted completely.

  • Enrolment: Companies are enrolling patients through registration links sent over email and video calls. Some companies have also built an app to improve patient enrolment.
