Q

4 phases of clinical trial

A

1) tests the safety of medication and treatment on a small group of people
2) continues safety and effectiveness testing with a slightly larger group; participants are afflicted with disease/condition they are trying to treat
3) studies safety, effectiveness and dosing of treatment on hundreds to thousands of people; double-blinded study (patients and providers)
4) intervention is already approved. studies long term effectiveness, comparing new treatment to standard treatment
