Translational Consulting & Partnerships

Designing Clinical Trials with Predictive Patient Selection Protocols

Yatiri Bio's B2B Translational Consulting & Partnerships provide custom CRO services to design clinical trial protocols centered around predictive patient selection. We combine systems biology networks, ex-vivo drug sensitivity profiling data, and regulatory CDx pathways to minimize oncology clinical trial failure rates for our biopharmaceutical partners.

Mitigating the Risk of Clinical Oncology Failures

Oncology therapeutics show the lowest approval probability of all major disease classes, with 95% of candidates failing during clinical phases (Wong, Siah & Lo, 2019). This represents a massive financial and clinical burden for developers. Over 90% of these failures are driven by a lack of efficacy or safety issues in the clinic (Sun et al., 2022), which are often detectable earlier with systems biology profiling.

Yatiri Bio partners directly with biopharma developers to integrate proteomics and cellular efficacy modeling into Phase I/II trial designs.

We act as a specialized translational Contract Research Organization (CRO). By reviewing preclinical data, mapping the target's active network, and screening cell models, we outline a comprehensive strategy to enrich trials with patients carrying responsive proteomic profiles.

Custom Consultation Pillars

Our translational consulting engagements are structured around three primary project pillars:

  • Biomarker-Driven Trial Design: Drafting patient selection protocols, defining sample acquisition timelines, and structuring clinical assays (such as MRM mass-spectrometry or ELISA endpoints) for clinical runs.
  • Kinase Pathway Mapping & Combinations: Predicting potential escape routes and bypass mechanisms to design rationale-based combination therapy protocols.
  • Companion Diagnostic (CDx) Regulatory Alignment: Mapping analytical validation scopes to FDA companion diagnostic requirements (such as Investigational Device Exemptions - IDE).

Translational Consulting Buyer Questions

When should a sponsor request consulting?

Request consulting when a program needs to connect proteomics, ex-vivo efficacy data, and clinical sample strategy into a patient-selection plan.

What decisions can the work support?

Consulting can support cohort enrichment, biomarker endpoint selection, assay sequencing, and translational evidence packages for oncology trials.
