What does ADEPT mean in THERAPEUTICS

ADEPT stands for Airways Disease Endotyping for Personalized Therapeutics and is a research-based healthcare initiative that aims to develop and implement evidence-based personalized treatments for respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD.

ADEPT seeks to improve patient outcomes by individualizing therapies in order to precisely target the underlying biological pathways behind these conditions. Specifically, it works with clinicians, researchers, industry partners, and regulators to identify the biology of different groups of patients, design relevant clinical trials, collect data on longitudinal outcomes, evaluate patient response predictors and health economics implications of personalized care strategies.

Patients can benefit from personalized treatments in many ways. For example, they may have improved outcomes due to tailored therapies that are tailored specifically to their particular condition or response profiles. Additionally, they may have fewer side effects since the treatment is specifically designed based on their individual needs and preferences.

By working with clinicians, researchers, industry partners, and regulators to identify the biology of different groups of patients through endotyping (a technique involving genetic analysis), design relevant clinical trials, collect data on longitudinal outcomes, evaluate patient response predictors and health economics implications of personalized care strategies - ADEPT hopes to transform personalized therapeutic approaches into medical practice in order to improve treatment efficacy while reducing overall costs associated with disease management.

Implementers of ADEPT include a variety of stakeholders including medical professionals (clinicians), researchers from universities and other institutions involved in healthcare research (academia), industry partners involved in drug/medical device development/production (pharmaceuticals/biotechs) as well as regulatory agencies which are responsible for ensuring medications/treatments are safe/effective before being approved for public use (FDA).
