Using Protein Biomarkers Increases the Chances of Success in Clinical Trials
Many clinical trials fail due to lack of efficacy. But while some of this may be due to poor target selection during the drug discovery process, it’s becoming increasingly clear that only certain patients respond to treatments. So how exactly does precision medicine increase the likelihood of success in clinical trials?
