Precision medicine has led to the identification of new biological drugs and targets for personalized treatments. A limitation of biological drugs relies on their difficulties for overcoming biological barriers. However, recent developments on drug delivery are opening new avenues that may soon make feasible the oral administration of biologics. In article number 1901935, María José Alonso and co‐workers provide an overview of the current situation, future prospects, barriers to clinical translation, and identified opportunities for advancement in this field.
