Still, more than 90 percent of drug candidates fail in clinical trials, with even more that never make it to the clinical stage. Many drugs fail because they simply aren’t safe. Drug developers also assess pharmacokinetic effects, or how an organism absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and clears a drug.
