Importance: Many investigational drugs fail in late-stage clinical development. A better understanding of why investigational drugs fail can inform clinical practice, regulatory decisions, and future research. Objective: To assess factors associated with regulatory approval or reasons for failure of investig...
4.3.2 Clinical trials Clinical trials are a crucial part of the drug manufacturing procedure as it contains preclinical studies, phase I, phase II, phase III, and phase IV studies and all these phases contain the personal data of a patient, information related to a drug such as pharmacological...
The futility trial is an early-stage clinical trial design that attempts to identify ineffective therapies within a relatively short timeframe while minimizing cost and patient exposure to less promising therapies. From:Encyclopedia of Movement Disorders,2010 ...
they attenuate the influence of confounders; however, they are also cumbersome, are costly, and require large numbers of patients to demonstrate clinical benefit [9]. Newer biomarker-based clinical trials have been associated with improved rates of response, progression-free survival (PFS), and over...

individual. Therefore, next-generation trials need to be patient-centered (i.e., therapeutic agents matched to patients based on their tumor biomarkers) rather than drug-centered (i.e., patients matched to specific clinical trials). Traditional randomized, drug-centered clinical trials are important...
Employment is a vital source for experiencing well-being and lowering the risk of long-term social marginalisation and poverty. For persons with alcohol and drug addiction, it may also improve sobriety. However, the unemployment situation for this group
经过科罗拉多大学癌症中心为期三年的临床试验,一种针对第四期黑色素瘤患者的新型多药治疗被证明是有效的。 该研究由科大癌症中心成员设计和领导,旨在克服一些转移性黑色素瘤患者出现的免疫抑制--皮肤癌已经扩散到肺部等器官。 "我们知道免疫疗法对许多黑色素瘤患者是有效的,但它并不是对所有人都有效。有时肿瘤会抑制...
This device is currently at pre-clinical stage. Mockups of the earlier 15-channel prototype were implanted in 7 minipigs (Kelly et al., 2011, 2013). Examinations up to 1 year after surgery showed good tolerance and continued function of the device. Studies with the mockups of the 256-chann...
The median pathological regression was −48% (range, −100 to −10) (Supplementary Fig. 1). In most cases the change in radiographic tumor volume did not reflect the full extent of tumor necrosis. Pathological downstaging from pretreatment clinical stage occurred in 13 patients (52%) (...
