It’s extremely expensive and time-consuming, and the possibility of disappointment looms at every phase of discovery. According to one analysis, half of candidate therapies fail during preclinical research—the phase when important information on feasibility, testing, and drug safety is collected. And, if a promising therapy does advance to a clinical trial, another recent analysis indicates there’s a 98 percent failure rate during phase II and III, primarily due to lack of efficacy.</p> <div class="more-link"><a href="/research/blog/2017/02/mouse-medicine-improving-preclinical-research-alzheimers-disease" class="more-link" aria-label="Read more about From mouse to medicine: Improving preclinical research in Alzheimer&#039;s disease" hreflang="en">Show More</a></div> <br /> </div> </div> <div class="views-row"><div data-history-node-id="14450" class="node node--type-research-blog node--view-mode-teaser ds-1col clearfix"> <h2> Health ABC data now available through NIA website </h2> <p>We are excited to let you know that NIA has a resource for investigators seeking to analyze biomedical data.

What might be behind why people in Japan live longer than people in other developed countries? The Gateway makes it easy to create interactive graphs and tables to immediately examine population estimates of various countries over time.
