الوصف: OBJECTIVE: The COVID-19 epidemic has had a strong impact on the entire healthcare sector in France with priority being given to research for new therapeutic options for COVID-19. Nevertheless, continuity of care for patients suffering from other diseases represents a crucial challenge, and clinical research is no exception in this respect. This study aims to assess the impact of the strict Covid-19 lockdown on non-Covid-19 clinical research in the French University Hospital of Strasbourg. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical research activity (non-Covid-19) from the point of view of pharmacy department was estimated and compared to the pre-lockdown period. The impact of lockdown was assessed through five indicators: site initiation visits, the initiation of experimental therapies in non-Covid-19 patients, the delivery of non-Covid-19 investigational medical products, the number of drug shipments to patients’ homes, and the number of monitoring or closure visits. RESULTS: During the study period, the number of site initiation visits decreased by 90%, total inclusions by 72%, and delivery of investigational medical products by 30%. During the lockdown period, 15 treatments were sent to patients’ homes. Monitoring activity decreased by 98%. CONCLUSIONS: Although the COVID-19 outbreak has created an incredible momentum in the field of clinical research, research not focused on SaRS-CoV-2 has suffered greatly from this situation. The impact on patients is difficult to estimate but should be further investigated.
