The importance of PD biomarkers lies in their ability to:
1. Assess Drug Efficacy: By measuring the biological response to a drug, PD biomarkers can help determine if a drug is working as intended. 2. Optimize Dosing: PD biomarkers can guide dose adjustments to achieve the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing side effects. 3. Predict Clinical Outcomes: Early changes in PD biomarkers can serve as surrogates for long-term clinical outcomes, accelerating the drug development process. 4. Personalize Therapy: PD biomarkers allow for the customization of treatment plans based on individual patient responses, enhancing the effectiveness of therapies.
