Drug development is an arduous process punctuated by go/no-go decisions related to the efficacy and safety of drug candidates. When a new preclinical drug candidate with a reasonable profile of efficacy and safety is identified, it is still uncertain whether this new therapeutic agent will ultimately make its way to the patient and advance human health. In fact, ~90% of all compounds entering clinical trials fail, largely due to safety issues in clinical phases or drug efficacy issues in patients (1).
