In the multifaceted drug development arena, a successful clinical trial paves the way for potential FDA drug candidate approval. For perspective, a successful drug development cycle typically extends for 10 to 15 years. This complex process costs approximately $1 billion per approved drug candidate.


However, most drug candidates never make it through the clinical trial phase. In fact, 90 percent of in-development drugs fail to successfully navigate this multi-year process.

This less-than-optimal outcome may result from one or more contributing factors. Leen Kawas, Ph. D. discussed the reasons for clinical trial failures and offered recommendations to help improve trial outcomes.
