Abstract:
Quantitative translational medicine (QTM) is envisioned as a multifaceted discipline that will galvanize the path from idea to medicine through quantitative translation across the discovery, development, regulatory, and utilization spectrum. Here, we summarize results of an American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (ASCPT) survey on barriers relevant to the advancement of QTM and propose opportunities for its deployment. Importantly, we offer a call to action to break down these barriers through patient-centered stewardship, effective communication, cross-sector collaboration, and a modernized educational curriculum.
