Amidst significant shifts in the pharmaceutical industry, the number of clinical trials has surged over the first half of 2025. Biotech and service providers have been used to a variety of headwinds over the last three years; but is this a bellwether event or an unusually positive quarter?
On 16 September, GlobalData Healthcare will host a webinar titled “Clinical Trials surge in H1 2025: Where the real growth lies and how to stay ahead” to move beyond headline counts to get a more accurate read of trial activity. The session has been prompted by GlobalData’s clients asking to help them understand how to interpret claims by clinical trial service providers that trial initiations rose in H1 2025.
