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

pharmaphorum

The DNA of these so-called ‘genetic superheroes’ may contain clues about how to treat severe disease. Fast forward to today and, while many large-scale genomics studies still lack the infrastructure and consent policies to enable recontact, this is starting to change. Giving participants something in return.

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

XTalks

Late-stage clinical trial failures are largely to blame for the lack of effective treatment options for patients with HFpEF, and poor five-year survival rates make this an area of great unmet need. New advances in heart failure genomics are helping to address this challenge. Heart failure affects about 6.2

Evolution in Hepatitis B and C Virus: Can we expect success similar to Hepatitis C in Hepatitis B as well?

Delveinsight

Even though clinical trial results were promising, adverse events and serious complications were observed. Hepatitis C treatment options, without a doubt, have improved significantly, including pan-genotypic medications that are used to treat all genotypes and subtypes. Both drugs resulted in inhibition of HCV replication.
