Generation of strong research dataset cohorts must begin with high-quality clinical samples. Biobanks are used for the coordination of high-yield patient sample collection. There are a number of complexities associated with the collection, banking and distribution of clinical samples. Biobanking Models. Dr. Gordon R.

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. A lack of efficacy is the greatest reason for clinical trial failures, especially in Phase II and Phase III,” says Dr. Tyl.
