Phase describes the level of a trial required of drugs before (and after) they are routinely used in clinical practice: - Phase I trials assess toxic effects on humans (not many people participate in them, and usually without controls); - Phase ll trials assess therapeutic benefit (usually involving a few hundred people, usually with controls, but not always); - Phase III trials compare the new treatment against standard (or placebo) treatment (usually a full randomised controlled trial). At this point, a drug can be approved for community use. - Phase IV monitors a new treatment in the community, often to evaluate longterm safety and effectiveness. [Glossary of Terms in The Cochrane Collaboration] A trial can be of a combination phase (e.g., I/II). The concept of phase is not applicable to trials studying certain interventions (e.g., device, procedure, behavioral) |
