Abstract

This visiongain report provides you with the most comprehensive guide to personalized medicines, numerous multicolored graphs and uniquely compiled tables containing industry facts and figures - can you afford to be without it?.

Several companies are leading the pharmacogenomics revolution, which promises to:

  • Optimize the efficacy of therapeutic compounds
  • Minimize adverse drug reactions and associated long-term costs
  • Enhance the cost effectiveness of clinical trials
  • Facilitate drug discovery, development, and approval
  • Despite the infancy of personalized medicines, genotype-specific medications is no longer a fiction of the future, but a reality of the present.

A prime example of the potential benefits of applying genomic knowledge to clinical therapy is the selective use of Herceptin drug in breast cancer patients with genotypes that confer positive response to pharmacological therapy.
