How using AI in clinical trials accelerates drug development

Pharmaceutical Technology

The need for new medical treatments and drugs has never been greater. But before pharmaceutical companies can go to market with a breakthrough drug, they need to ensure safety and efficacy through clinical trials. Even reaching the clinical trial phase offers no guarantees, as only 12% of such drugs receive U.S.

Fatty liver disease: With little early detection, more challenging drug development

pharmaphorum

Obesity, diabetes, and genetics are the primary drivers, and COVID is about to make this exponentially worse. But herein lies the dichotomy that medicine has created: By failing to regularly screen to find the early-stage disease, the number of patients who could participate in drug trials is limited.

Diseases Don’t Discriminate, So Why Aren’t Clinical Trials More Diverse?

XTalks

Disease doesn’t discriminate, and researchers understand different populations react differently to drugs. Why, then, are clinical trials so stubbornly homogeneous? Clinical trials, however, don’t reflect that diversity. When trial populations don’t match the broader patient base, the treatments they produce aren’t as effective.
