What the source says
The recent increase in the proportion of small molecule trials in Phase I has been driven by a combination of stabilization of small molecule share among EBPs and an increasing share of small molecule trials among larger companies, where the small molecule share increased from 61% in 2022 to 66% in 2025.
Checked: the figure 66%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
