Description
Personalized medicine, the use of therapies that are targeted to the individual patient, is a reality today, thanks to a growing emphasis on biomarker research. Biomarkers promise a smoother integration of diagnostics and therapeutics, and most importantly a reduction in time and cost for Phase I and II clinical trials.
Anyone looking to take advantage of the opportunities the market for biomarker research offers will find Kalorama’s Biomarkers: A Market Briefing an essential study of this emerging market. Not only does the report explain the types of biomarkers and their myriad diagnostic applications, it tracks current revenue and forecasts revenue for the following diagnostic segments:
- Cancer (Breast, Ovarian, Prostate, Bladder and Cervical)
- EGFR Testing
- Stroke Diagnosis
Recently, interest in biomarkers has soared due to their proven ability to speed up pharmaceutical R&D efforts. Biomarkers can increase the efficiency and reduce the risks of the drug development process. New trial designs and clear guidelines for using efficacy and safety biomarkers in product development will increase the pace and reduce the cost of developing safe and effective medical products.
Biomarkers have been shown to reduce time and cost for Phase I and II clinical trials by replacing clinical endpoints. This is expected to produce the most profitable segment of the market for companies in this industry. Kalorama’s Biomarkers: A Market Briefing provides detailed information on how this promising application for biomarkers is already shaping the market, producing over $200 million in revenue and expected to quintuple in the next four years. The report details the revenues associated with clinical trials biomarker application through 2009, including data on geographic regional revenues.
