Importance of Subgroups in Clinical Trials

Subgroups in clinical trial development are crucial for identifying which participants benefit most from a treatment and understanding the risk-to-benefit ratio. These categories include measurable characteristics like demographics, biomarkers, genetic profiles, and comorbidities.
