Yow. I thought that by Phase III safety was pretty well established and you'd be looking for efficacy endpoints, surrogate or real. Emphasis on endpoint ... but I guess not.
But ... if vague memory serves, from the overview of some Phase III trials, maybe not the first one, I remember more like hundreds of participants. Maybe not quite a thousand, but a lot.
- protomyth 12y agoThey don't have to be blood samples. I remember one which was blood, urine, and stool each day. Also, each sample might have multiple tests performed. Its a pretty interesting logistical problem.
