11th Latin American Conference of Clinical Research

Drug efficacy and adverse drug reactions are usually dose-dependent and determine the clinical outcome of the administration of a particular drug. Personalized Medicine focuses on matching type and dosage according to individual genetic variation. This session will discuss the application of pharmacogenetics for volunteer selection on new drugs and bioequivalence clinical trials. In the case of bioequivalence studies, volunteer selection based on a specifi c metabolism type (fast, normal or slow) could provide more accurate trial results and clinical outcomes. The application of pharmacogenetics in Clinical Trials will be discussed.
