FYI: A food trial is excellent because it derisks the drug. It uses scientific measurements of blood, liver enzymes, kidney function, heart, thyroid, etc.
Even the specific enzymes responsible in the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family, found in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of the liver will enable advanced knowledge of any potential drug to drug or food interactions. This is achieved because drug interactions and food interactions occur when the substances battle to be metabolized through the same enzymes. (i.e.One substance may inhibit what the other needs to be broken down and metabolized properly which leads to abnormal drug/blood concentrations and potential clinical drug failure.)
Food trials rely on actual measured in-vivo responses, not patient responses.
A food trial all but eliminates any concern over safety including side effects & drug interactions with the FDA.
Clinical failure is minimized.
Clinical biopharma also becomes an ideal target for Big Pharma!
