The Data Pharma Needs to Overcome Testing Hurdles in Precision Medicine

Approximately 1000 Precision Medicine treatments are currently in development, and the FDA is expected to approve more personalized oncology drugs than one-size-fits-all treatments in the next year.¹ This continued shift towards Precision Medicine treatment offers hope for patients. Yet, up to 50% of eligible patients still cannot access the Precision Medicine treatments currently available.¹

Why?

Testing hurdles in the clinical diagnostic testing ecosystem continue to prevent the streamlined delivery of the right tests to the right patients at the right time, ultimately blocking patient access to life-saving Precision Medicine treatments. Testing hurdles are real-world challenges that impede patient access to the right tests at the right time—even though the right treatment is ready and available. These challenges are quite real, and are evident in the following realities within the clinical diagnostic testing ecosystem:

• It can take up to 4.5 years for a biomarker test to reach an 80% testing rate among patients (within the NSCLC testing and treatment landscape).¹
  
  
• It takes up to 3 years for >70% of labs to get ready to offer a new biomarker test.¹

With the anticipated arrival of more and more Precision Medicine treatments, it is now more important than ever that pharmaceutical companies are employing solutions and services to overcome these testing hurdles in order to reach every patient eligible for Precision Medicine treatments.
