Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

The idea of ‘genetic superheroes’ and precision medicine is captivating for researchers, but the concept can be abstract and distant for participants. In our experience of running 20+ precision medicine studies, there are a few design principles that every research programme – from biobanks to clinical trials – should consider.

Why genomic healthcare data matters in the development of new therapies 

Drug Discovery World

One might argue that this all started getting exciting with the launch of the Human Genome Project, which the National Human Genome Research Institute consider to be one of the greatest scientific feats in history 1. With Revio, researchers will be able to access that same great chemistry, but at a much larger scale.” . The origins

HFpEF vs. HFrEF: How To Improve Heart Failure Drug Development

XTalks

A 2015 study published in Nature Genetics found that the availability of human genetic data made investigational drugs twice as likely to pass pivotal trials and eventually be approved. Through this type of analysis, researchers are unable to say whether a drug target is specific to patients with HFrEF or HFpEF.
