Market Insights
Increasing number of clinical trials worldwide
Clinical trial is a crucial and significant step to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a medical strategy, treatment, or device for commercial usage. These studies also help understand and determine the best medical approaches for a particular therapeutic area. Clinical trials are conducted primarily to collect data regarding the safety and efficacy of new drug and device development. Before the approval of drug molecules or medical devices by the regulatory authorities, a series of clinical studies are conducted. The increasing prevalence of various communicable and noncommunicable diseases is creating the need for the development of new drugs or medical devices, which is, in turn, propelling the demand for the medical device & diagnostics contract research organization.
