Analgesics in current are only modestly effective in chronic pain (at least with respect to neuropathic pain), and the widespread application of mu-opioid receptor agonists for this purpose culminated in the global \"opioid crisis\".

The advent of precision medicine has prompted profound changes in clinical research and it allows researchers to predict more accurately, the prevention and treatment strategies for a specific disease population. Novel study designs are, therefore, essential to establish safe and effective personalized medicine. Basket, umbrella and platform trial designs (collectively referred to as master protocols) are biomarker enrichment designs that allow for testing more than one hypotheses within a protocol, thus accelerating drug development. These trial designs tailor intervention strategies based on patient's risk factor(s) that can help predict whether they will respond to a specific treatment. Basket trials evaluate therapy for various diseases that share a common molecular alteration, while umbrella trials evaluate multiple targeted therapies for a single disease that is stratified into subgroups based on different molecular alterations/ risk factors. These designs are complex and their major limitations stem from the fact that it would be inappropriate to completely replace histological typing with molecular profiling alone.
