The global virtual clinical trials market is currently dominated by several market players. The key players are involved in geographic expansion, acquisition, and strategic collaborations to maintain their global footprint in the global virtual clinical trials market. For instance, in June 2020, Tabula Rasa HealthCare (US), a New Jersey-based company collaborated with Washington-based health plan provider Regence (US) to virtually trial several different COVID-19 drug candidates and assess the risk of adverse drug events.
Regence will provide de-identified medical information from about 500,000 of its members to Tabula Rasa HealthCare. Thus, an increasing number of healthcare companies collaborating with technology companies to leverage data-driven clinical studies for development of effective medication by clinical trials remotely is increasing global virtual clinical trials market size.
