While the number of clinical trials has continued to grow by about 20% in the past six months, no corresponding growth in product approval by the food and drug administration is seen or anticipated in the near future. Late-stage clinical failures due to lack of efficacy or toxicity continues to be a

In spite of the recent advances in technology to optimize the absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) properties of new and promising medicinal products to reduce clinical failures, the investigation of drug disposition in the pediatric and elderly populations continues to be und
The ability to deliver nucleic acids (e.g., plasmid DNA, antisense oligonucleotides, siRNA) offers the potential to develop potent vaccines and novel therapeutics. However, nucleic acid-based therapeutics are still in their early stages as a new category of biologics. The efficacy of nucleic acids r
Since the discovery of liposomes or lipid vesicles derived from self-forming enclosed lipid bilayers upon hydration, liposome drug delivery systems have played a signiยฎcant role in formulation of potent drugs to improve therapeutics. Currently, most of these liposome formulations are designed to red
Finally, there must be realism. There will be limits to the funds available for expensive new drugs. Demand will always exceed resource. This realism must extend to our patients. We need to develop the skills to communicate our uncertainties and the dicult choices we face with our patients and the w
## Abstract Transfusion Medicine is a broad discipline that affects the health care of patients from many medical disciplines. Despite the large impact of transfusion therapies on the management of patients with a variety of diseases, there are few clinical trials that evaluate the indications or t
