This is largely attributed to big pharma companies conducting innovative trials in neurology, increased government funding from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and the high prevalence of neurological disorders worldwide.

Neuroscience continues to receive a healthy investment. For instance, in November 2022, NRG Therapeutics raised Series A funding of USD 18.9 million for the development of mitochondrial therapeutics to treat neurodegenerative ailments such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s disease. The adoption of similar initiatives in the future is expected to support market growth.

A significant number of people worldwide suffer from neurological disorders. For instance, as per the statistics from Parkinson's Foundation, every year 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with PD and more than 10 million people are living with the disease around the world. In terms of Epilepsy, the WHO states that more than 65 million people worldwide are affected by it. The disease is most prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, which account for 80.0% of epilepsy cases. A high prevalence of neurological disorders is expected to boost demand for clinical trials and thus support the market.

Neurology is considered as one of the major areas where clinical trials are conducted. As per the Pharma R&D Annual Review, in 2021, Neurology trials were the third area where clinical trials were majorly focused. The Pharma R&D Annual Review stated that for neurology above 2,900 drugs were under trial and in the year 2022 the number of drugs for clinical studies in the area of neurology accounted for more than 3,200 active drugs. An increasing number of drugs entering clinical trials in the area of neurology are expected to support the market in the post-pandemic period.

Phase Insights

The phase II clinical trials segment dominated the market for neurology clinical trials and held the largest revenue share of 46.9% in 2022.  Based on phase the market is segmented into Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV.A growing number of industry-sponsored and non-industry-sponsored clinical trials in phase II, the complexity associated with phase II clinical trials, and the globalization of clinical trials are supporting the growth of the segment.

A significant number of phase I drugs have been approved in the past few years. For instance, the biotech company PharmaTher Holdings Ltd. stated in May 2021 that the U.S. FDA had approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to advance the company’s ketamine drug to phase II clinical trial, to study the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of the drug in Parkinson’s patients. Such approvals are further expected to boost segment growth.

Phase III is anticipated to register the fastest growth of 5.7% CAGR throughout the forecast period. This growth may be attributed to the fact that phase III clinical trials are the costliest and involve a large number of participants. The clinical trial market players are actively initiating phase III trials in order to understand the safety and potency of treatment. For instance, in April 2022, Pfizer stated that it intends to open clinical trial sites to conduct phase III trials of its investigational mini-dystrophin gene therapy used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. Such initiatives by market players are likely to propel the segment's growth.

Indication Insights

The Huntington’s disease segment is anticipated to register the fastest growth rate of 6.1% throughout the forecast period. Based on indication, the market is segmented into epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), muscle regeneration, and others. There is a high demand for newer medications as there is no available treatment for Huntington’s disease.

Most of the cases are hereditary or caused due to mutation. As of June 2022, only 222 studies were registered for HD, out of which, the majority of studies were in phases I and II, and only three studies were reported to be in phase IV. The low number of studies in phase IV and the relative lack of medication available for the diseases are expected to drive the demand for research, which is likely to have a positive impact on the market.

Epilepsy held the largest share of 21.19% in 2022. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases, with more than 65.0 million people worldwide affected by it according to the WHO. The disease is most prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, which account for 80.0% of epilepsy cases. According to ClinicalTrials.gov, there are a total of 1,755 studies for epilepsy as of June 2022. The growing awareness regarding epilepsy and demand for advanced treatment for the condition is expected to drive the segment’s market.

Study Design Insights

The interventional segment led the market for neurology clinical trials and accounted for the largest revenue share of 96.14% in 2022. Based on the study design, the market is segmented into interventional, observational, and expanded access. The growth can be attributed to the fact that a large number of interventional studies for Central Nervous System (CNS) conditions are being conducted across the globe.

As of June 2022, there are above 23,000 interventional studies listed on ClinicalTrails.gov related to CNS conditions. For instance, an interventional study titled Feasibility of Acquiring Hyperpolarized Imaging in Patients with Primary CNS Lymphoma was in the recruiting stage in April 2022. All these factors support the segment market.

The observational segment is anticipated to witness a substantial expansion of 5.9% CAGR throughout the forecast period. In a variety of situations, such as post-marketing safety evaluations of drugs or when clinical trials are not feasible, observational studies are routinely used to evaluate treatment effects. Furthermore, as of June 2022, of the total CNS condition studies listed on ClinicalTrials.gov, more than 7,900 are observational.

For instance, an observational study titled "The Use of Biomarkers to Predict CNS Involvement in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: a Danish Nationwide Registry Study" was completed in January 2022. The above-mentioned factors support the segment market.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the neurology clinical trials market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 47.18% in 2022. The rising prevalence of neurological disorders and the presence of a large number of players in clinical trials are driving the market for neurology clinical trials in the region. As the population ages and total life expectancy rises, dementia would become more common, with an estimated 10.9 million Americans aged 65 and older suffering from Alzheimer's disease or another dementia by 2032.

Asia Pacific is expected to expand with the fastest CAGR of 5.11% across the forecast. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market as many developed nations are investing in the Asia Pacific region. Recruitment for clinical trials is increasing in Asia as compared to North America and Europe. This is due to the large patient pool & low trial cost. Moreover, researchers are actively developing new neurological treatments in the region.

For instance, in February 2021, researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in India developed a small molecule named TGR 63, which had the ability to disturb the mechanism through which neurons become nonfunctional in Alzheimer's disease. Such research activities are likely to contribute to the market growth of the region.
