How genetic tests are revolutionising clinical trials
14 August 2025
One of the most significant advantages of genetic testing in clinical trials is its ability to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from a given therapy. However, the benefit is not only for patients, but also for the sponsor of the study, as the more precise recruitment increases the chances for desirable test results. By analysing a participant’s DNA, researchers can pinpoint specific genetic mutations […]
