8 Frequently Asked Questions About Genetic Testing in Clinical Trials

Worldwide Clinical Trials

Genetic testing provides patients with a diagnosis for their illness, helps patients and family members to understand risks of developing new diseases, and can be used to support clinical trial advancement. Can prior genetic testing results be utilized in a trial, or should a new genetic sample be taken before participating?

To Share or Not to Share Failed Genetic Screening Results with Patients

Worldwide Clinical Trials

When using genetic screening to identify clinical trial volunteers, a sponsor’s obligations for further testing and disclosure of results to patients and families are unclear, especially when the results have no impact on medical management. Guidance in this area is much needed. Read the full article!

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
