Biomarker Analysis Services for Clinical Trials
Biomarker testing is crucial in clinical trials as it identifies molecular indicators of disease presence and progression, aids in patient stratification by predicting treatment responses, and enhances the selection of participants likely to benefit from specific therapies. It monitors biomarker levels to assess treatment efficacy and provides early indicators of therapeutic success. Additionally, biomarker testing discovers markers indicative of adverse effects, helping to ensure patient safety. By analyzing biomarkers, clinical trials can improve precision medicine approaches, leading to more targeted and effective treatments.
