Just to be clear, which of these phases is the "clinical trials" stage? Are all of them clinical trails and we're starting at zero now? (Not that Roman numerals have zero, by the way :).) The dictionary says clinical trials are about "safety and effectiveness" so I guess that is indeed early phases?
- Wohlf 7y agoI may be wrong, but I think they are all different forms of clinical trials.
- herodotus 7y agoNIH Definition of a Clinical Trial: "A research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes." A phase 1 clinical trial is used to determine safety (including dosage) and involves far fewer people than a stage III clinical trial. For Biotech startups, the companies value usually increases with each successfully completed trial. Conversely, the cost of conducting a trail also increases at each stage.
