Enhancing the validity of animal data to reliably inform human studies in clinical immunology is crucial
for accelerating the development of effective therapies for immune-mediated diseases. Several
successful methods can be employed to improve the translational value of animal models:
b. Early Clinical Trial Design: Utilize insights from basic immunology to inform early clinical trial
design, including patient selection, stratification, and biomarker-driven endpoints to optimize trial
success rates.
By implementing these successful methods, we can enhance the validity of animal data and improve the
translation of preclinical findings into effective clinical immunology therapies, leading to improved
patient outcomes and advancements in treating immune-mediated diseases.
