Biomarker Services
Overview |
 |
Whether in preclinical or Phase III, biomarkers can help increase the success rate of any drug development program, in terms of speed, cost and quality. In early drug development, biomarkers help identify viable drug targets by predicting early toxicological effects. During late stage clinical trials, they help prove drug safety and effectiveness, guide trial design and support critical decision making. As a result of their proven utility and also future promise, biomarkers are being increasingly embraced by the medical and regulatory community.
