Moreover, advances in our understanding of disease are boosting the efficiency of the drug development process, making it possible to bring new innovations to market faster. For example, genetic testing is being used to pre-select participants for clinical trials, cutting recruitment times.
此外，我们对疾病的理解的进步正在提高药物研发过程的效率，从而有望加快新创新的上市。比如，基因测试被用在临床试验候选参与者身上以缩短招募时间。用这种方法，研究可以在三周之内开始，而标准临床试验的准备过程平均长达34周。此外，我们现在可以更快地分析数据，更准确地决定剂量，临床试验时间也大幅缩短了。
