Bedside to Bench: Integrating Quantitative Clinical Pharmacology and Reverse Translation to Optimize Drug Development.

With so much emphasis on reducing attrition and becoming more efficient in the delivery of healthcare, there are many opportunities to leverage existing clinical data in drug development and to foster the practice of reverse translation. The application of quantitative approaches to convert clinical trial and real-world data to knowledge will continue to drive innovation. Herein we discuss recent examples of reverse translation and consider future opportunities to capture critical clinical knowledge to inform decision-making in drug development.
