C48281 Trial Phase [TPHASE] Clinical trials are broken into three or four phases: Phase I tests a new drug or treatment for safety in a small group; Phase II expands the study to a larger group of people; Phase III expands the study to an even larger group of people to measure whether the treatment actually benefits patients, and whether its benefits exceed its risks; and Phase IV takes place after the drug or treatment has been licensed and marketed. (NCI) Trial Phase C15600 Trial Phase 1 Phase I Trial The initial introduction of an investigational new drug into humans. Phase 1 studies are typically closely monitored and may be conducted in patients or normal volunteer subjects. NOTE: These studies are designed to determine the metabolism and pharmacologic actions of the drug in humans, the side effects associated with increasing doses, and, if possible, to gain early evidence on effectiveness. During Phase 1, sufficient information about the drug’s pharmacokinetics and pharmacological effects should be obtained to permit the design of well-controlled, scientifically valid, Phase 2 studies. The total number of subjects and patients included in Phase I studies varies with the drug, but is generally in the range of 20 to 80. Phase 1 studies also include studies of drug metabolism, structure-activity relationships, and mechanism of action in humans, as well as studies in which investigational drugs are used as research tools to explore biological phenomena or disease processes.

Controlled clinical studies conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug for a particular indication or indications in patients with the disease or condition under study and to determine the common short-term side effects and risks associated with the drug. NOTE: Phase 2 studies are typically well controlled, closely monitored, and conducted in a relatively small number of patients, usually involving no more than several hundred subjects.

A pivotal study will generally be well-controlled, randomized, of adequate size, and whenever possible, double-blind. (NCI) Trial Phase 2B C15602 Trial Phase 3 Phase III Trial Phase 3. Studies are expanded controlled and uncontrolled trials. They are performed after preliminary evidence suggesting effectiveness of the drug has been obtained, and are intended to gather the additional information about effectiveness and safety that is needed to confirm efficacy and evaluate the overall benefit–risk relationship of the drug and to provide an adequate basis for physician labeling. NOTE: Phase 3 studies usually include from several hundred to several thousand subjects. [After FDA CDER Handbook, ICH E8] (CDISC glossary) Trial Phase 3 C49687 Trial Phase 3A Phase IIIA Trial A classification typically assigned retrospectively to a Phase III trial upon determination by regulatory authorities of a need for a Phase III B trial.

NOTE: Dossier review may continue while associated Phase IIIB trials are conducted. These trials may be required as a condition of regulatory authority approval. Trial Phase 3B C15603 Trial Phase 4 Phase IV Trial Phase 4. Postmarketing (Phase 4) studies to delineate additional information about the drug’s risks, benefits, and optimal use that may be requested by regulatory authorities in conjunction with marketing approval. NOTE: These studies could include, but would not be limited to, studying different doses or schedules of administration than were used in Phase 2 studies, use of the drug in other patient populations or other stages of the disease, or use of the drug over a longer period of time.
