The Study Process
Clinical Trial Phases
Participating in studies is a vital part of researching new cures and treatments.
-
Phase 1
In this phase researchers test a new product in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects. This usually takes less than a year.
-
Phase 2
The product is given to a larger group of people to study effectiveness and further assess safety.This stage can last for months or years.
-
Phase 3
The product is given to large groups of people to confirm safety, monitor side effects, compare it to other treatments, and collect information that could make it safer to use. This phase usually takes years to complete.
-
Phase 4
This phase happens after a product is approved for consumer sale. The product is studied to find additional information about its risks, benefits and best use.
