Ensuring the best reporting in precision medicine research and ultimately the best outcome for patients is the goal of a new international guideline, the first of its kind.
The guideline is produced by an international consortium, chaired by Professor Paul Franks from Lund University in Sweden and co-chaired by Dr Siew Lim from Monash University's Eastern Health Clinical School.
Precision medicine, which is designed specifically for each individual patient and their disease, maximises their chances of a favourable result.
Until now there has been no standardised guideline for reporting research on precision medicine, which tailors treatment to unique aspects of each person and their disease. This made it difficult to compare and use research by different groups.
Published in Nature Medicine, BePRECISE (Better Precision-data Reporting of Evidence from Clinical Intervention Studies & Epidemiology) will improve research reporting in precision medicine, thereby enabling the best possible outcomes for all.
