GlobalData has compiled a summary of clinical trials in New Zealand. GlobalData captured records of 1,016 clinical trials across all diseases and phases that had a start date between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2016.

In this report, a small number of Phase 0, Phase I/II, Phase II/III, and Phase III/IV trials were combined with Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV trials, respectively. Overall, Phase III trials outnumbered all other trials, making up 40–48% of the trial types across the period. The share of Phase II trials was second, ranging from 24–39%, and hitting its lowest percentage in 2014, as shown in Figure 1. The share of Phase I trials increased from 10% up to 26% over the five-year period, while Phase IV trials decreased from 13% in 2012 to 5% in 2016.
