I think more people should know how important a clinical trial is for everyone and how convenient it is for oneself.
How is the process of a Clinical Trial?
Clinical trials are conducted in phases:
Phase I
The drug or treatment is tested on a small group of people for the first time in order to find out if it is safe and well tolerated.
Phase II
Once the drug has been successfully trialed in the phase I, it is tested again on a larger group of people to assess its effectiveness and further evaluate its safety.
Phase III
If the Phase II shows that the benefits of the drug or treatment outweigh the side effects, it is then tested in a Phase III trial. Now the drug is given to many participants to confirm its effectiveness and safety, and monitor side effects.
Phase IV
After the drug is approved by the FDA, researchers assess its safety in the general population, and collect additional information such as its risks and benefits.
