Previous analyses provide an industry benchmark of ∼10% for the success rate in clinical development. However, prior analyses were limited by a narrow timeframe, a diverse research focus, biases in phase-to-phase transition methodology or a focus on specific use cases. We calculated unbiased input:output ratios (Phase I to FDA new drug approval) to analyze the likelihood of first approval using data from clinicaltrials.

In malaria, identity-by-descent (IBD) is used to assess the genetic relatedness between parasites and has been used to study transmission and importation. In theory, IBD can be used to distinguish genealogical relationships to reconstruct transmission history or identify parasites for quantitative-trait-locus experiments.

A process of de-escalation in the initial management and follow-up of these patients has therefore been implemented in parallel. This article provides the best practice recommendations made by the French learned societies (Société française d'endocrinologie, Société française de médecine nucléaire, Association française de chirurgie endocrine, Société française d'oto-rhino-laryngologie et de chirurgie de la face et du cou), european and international learned societies (European Society for Medical Oncology and the American Thyroid Association), in the management of follicular-derived thyroid cancer without distant metastases.
