It may not be appropriate to use the word ‘failure’ when summarising the utility of clinicaltrials in the search for a curative or preventative treatment for disease. Most of the trials are underpowered to demonstrate efficacy on mortality and long-term consequences of the disease.
Flow cytometric receptor occupancy assays are being increasingly used in preclinical and clinical studies. Both the areas of drug development and clinicaltrials are increasingly using in vitro assays to help determine the efficacy of an investigational therapeutic. What is Flow Cytometry?
Liquid biopsies have demonstrated promising activity in multiple clinical settings, but the great enthusiasm and expectations around them can be harmful if not adequately managed,” said Dr. El Mustapha Bahassi, PhD, Director, Clinical Laboratory Sciences, at the global clinical research organization (CRO) Medpace.

This mutation hinders the drug’s binding to the mutant EGFR protein. Osimertinib, however, can covalently bind to the T790M and cysteine-797 (C797) residue at the protein’s ATP binding site, overcoming resistance mechanisms. In the same study, those with T790M loss had a shorter treatment duration (6.1 months vs. 15.2
Food and Drug Administration were based on mRNA, more conventional protein-based vaccines have also shown promise in clinicaltrials. Most train the immune system to recognize the RBD, a peptide that is the portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that binds to the ACE-2 receptor on host cell surfaces. bioRxiv [Preprint].
Messenger RNA vaccines contain nucleic acids that code for a specific protein, or target antigen, related to a virus or disease. When an mRNA vaccine is administered, a patient’s body produces that protein to prompt a desired immune response. Before COVID-19, Merck held the record for the fastest modern vaccine ever developed.
The researchers found that factors in the blood can potentially predict the risk of developing the disease years before a clinical diagnosis is made. Among individuals diagnosed with MCI, ten to 15 percent of them progress to Alzheimer’s disease as observed in clinical studies and five to ten percent in population studies.
