Since June 1 there has been a slow but progressive decline in the number of clinical trial disruptions. The fastest rate of trial disruption was between early April and mid-May and the number of trials disrupted by COVID-19 peaked in the first week of June.
Chung-Siu concludes: “New vaccines that are being approved for the treatment of COVID-19 provide hope that this will change the dynamic of the global pandemic and decrease the number of disrupted clinical trials in the near future.”
