Trials conducted under the aegis of CROs • 73 trials were conducted under the aegis of external CROs* in 2013. • After a marked increase between 2011 and 2012 (50 to 82), numbers of this type of trial have now again dropped back slightly.

Drop in numbers of trial subjects • In 2013, a total of 16,249 individuals participated in clinical trials in Denmark. • This was significantly down on the previous three years when the number of trial subjects was more stable. • The drop was also due to an increase in the proportion of early stage trials in which not so many subjects usually participate. • Early stage trials are increasing, especially for cancer.
