How Do Histological Findings Influence Drug Development?
Histological findings provide valuable information that influences various stages of drug development:
In the preclinical phase, histology helps in understanding the drug’s mechanism of action and identifying potential toxicities. During clinical trials, histological analysis can be used to monitor patient responses and refine treatment protocols. In the post-marketing phase, histology assists in the ongoing evaluation of drug safety and the identification of long-term effects.
