| What are the different Phases of a trial? Below are examples of questions that the different phases of a
trial are attempting to answer:
- Phase I: What is the safe dose? How does the treatment affect the
human body? How should the treatment be given?
- Phase II: Does the treatment treat the disease or cure the
condition?
- Phase III: Is the treatment better than, the same as, or worse than
the standard (or most widely accepted) treatment? If there is no standard
treatment available, is it better than, the same as, or worse than a placebo?
