Why Conducting a Clinical Trial in the UK?
The United Kingdom is one of the top countries in the world to carry out clinical trials.
As of June of 2021, the American clinical trial database (clinicaltrials.gov) displays a total of 20,182 registered clinical studies for the United Kingdom, which shows the leadership of the UK in the global clinical research market.
Together with world-class research funders, the NHS, research charities and global pharmaceutical companies, the UK strives to continue to be a leader in clinical research.
The pharmaceutical industry invested £4.5 billion in UK R&D in 2018, with the global industry predicted to spend $232.5 billion a year on R&D by 2026 [1] .
Since 2017, Phase I clinical trial activity has declined in the UK, with 95 trials initiated in 2018, compared with 117 in 2017. This is a trend seen across European comparators, with the UK maintaining its lead in Europe for Phase I trials. For Phase II, the UK ranks second globally, with 268 trials initiated in 2018, compared with the USA, ranking first with 1,021 trials initiated [2].
The UK’s strong oncology research environment ranks it second in Europe, behind Spain, and fourth globally, with 226 trials initiated in 2018. For research in diseases of the nervous system and infectious diseases, the UK leads in Europe, with 66 and 46 clinical trials initiated in 2018, respectively [2].
