Clinical trials for new medications will often list a "phase" in their description. Here is what those phases indicate:
- Phase 1: This is an study in a small group of 20 to 80 people in which researchers evaluate the drug's safety, determine how it works in the human body. It also identifies side effects and is used to determine a safe dosage.
- Phase 2: This study looks at how effective the drug is in a slightly larger group of people, generally between 100 to 300. Further safety evaluations are also done at this phase.
- Phase 3: A phase 3 study is done after early evidence suggests the drug is effective. This is an expanded trial that includes thousands of people, both those taking the medication and people not taking it. It is used to confirm effectiveness, monitor side effects, and compare the new drug to commonly used treatments for the same condition.
- Phase 4: These studies are done after the drug has been marketed. They are done to collect information about the drug's effect in specific populations, and to measure any side effects associated with long-term use.
