Incorporating Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Phase 2 Design How to Integrate Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Phase 2 Clinical Trial Design Introduction As the focus of clinical research shifts toward patient-centered drug development, the integration of Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Phase 2 trials is gaining traction. PROs provide direct insight into how patients feel, function, and…

Immunogenicity Assessments in Phase 2 Biologic Trials Evaluating Immunogenicity in Phase 2 Trials of Biologic Products Introduction Biologic therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, peptides, fusion proteins, and gene therapies have revolutionized treatment across oncology, autoimmune, and rare diseases. However, because they are derived from living organisms, biologics carry a unique risk: immunogenicity. This refers to…
