If you review a specific target, say BTK, you will see that the Tractability section reports that it doesn’t have anything in any clinical phases for SM:

> **[Open Targets Platform](https://platform.opentargets.org/target/ENSG00000010671)**
>
> The Open Targets Platform integrates publicly available datasets to support systematic identification and prioritisation of drug targets.

However, if you look at the “known drugs” section, its clear that a number of drugs for BTK are in every (?) clinical stage for multiple indications. Is there a reason for this mismatch?
