Clinical trials Steps

Phase I: Initial Pharmacological Evaluation. Determines the safe dosage level for humans. The medication is given to volunteers at gradual doses. The first sign of toxicity is noted. Dosage levels below the toxic dose level are considered safe.

• Phase II: Limited Controlled Evaluation. Determines the therapeutic range for humans. Volunteers who have the disease or disorder are given the medication at gradual doses and are examined to determine the dose that provides the therapeutic effect.

• Phase III: Extended Clinical Evaluation. Determines the effects of the medication on a large group of patients who have the disease or disorder. If the medication proves effective, then the pharmaceutical manufacturer submits a New Drug Application (NDA) to the Food and Drug Administration for approval to market the medication.

• Phase IV: Post Marketing Surveillance Trial. Determines ongoing safety of the medication after the medication is being prescribed by healthcare providers.
