Global Dermatomyositis Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected various industries globally. Key players operating in the global dermatomyositis market are facing major challenges on various fronts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, the number of COVID-19 cases reported globally, as of September 19, 2022, are approximately 609,848,852 confirmed cases with 6,507,002 deaths.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused major disruptions to clinical trial execution in the U.S., impacting key stakeholders across the industry. Investigative site capabilities experienced upheaval, driven by staff furloughs, social-distancing protocols, financial losses, and concerns over patient safety. Sponsors, CROs (clinical research organizations), and other organizations that support drug development shifted to remote working environments. According to Lancet, an estimated 80% of non-COVID-19 trials were stopped or interrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
