Body Clock's Role in Drug Responses: Moving Toward Personalized Treatments Based on Sex and Timing

AI simplified

Abstract

Significant improvements in medication tolerability and efficacy have been confirmed through proper administration timing for various treatments.

  • Integration of molecular clocks is essential for advancing personalized chronotherapy in precision medicine.
  • Recent studies indicate that drug responses may differ between sexes due to circadian rhythms.
  • Dedicated randomized clinical trials are necessary to develop personalized circadian timing recommendations for clinical practice.
  • Innovative technologies could facilitate remote monitoring of circadian metrics and predict molecular clock function from single-timepoint biopsies.
  • Patients with strong circadian function may benefit most from personalized chronotherapy, while those with poor circadian function might find relief through chronobiotics.
