nizes and monitors the results of trials according to type 15 prevention trials look for ways to prevent disease in people who have never had the disease or to prevent a disease from returning these approaches may include drugs vitamins or other micronutrients vaccines or lifestyle changes screening trials test for ways to identify certain diseases or health conditions diagnostic trials are conducted to find better tests or procedures for diagnosing a particular disease or condition treatment trials test experimental drugs new combinations of drugs or new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy quality of life trials supportive care trials evaluate how to improve comfort and quality of care for people with a chronic illness genetic trials are conducted to assess the prediction accuracy of genetic disorders making a person more or less likely to develop a disease epidemiological trials have the goal of identifying the general causes patterns or control of diseases in large numbers of people compassionate use trials or expanded access trials provide partially tested unapproved therapeutics to a small number of patients who have no other realistic options usually this involves a disease for which no effective therapy has been approved or a patient who has already failed all standard treatments and whose health is too compromised to qualify for participation in randomized clinical trials 44 usually case by case approval must be granted by both the fda and the pharmaceutical company for such exceptions fixed trials consider existing data only during the trial s design do not modify the trial after it begins and do not assess the results until the study is completed adaptive clinical trials use existing data to design the trial and then use interim results to modify the trial as it proceeds modifications include dosage sample size drug undergoing trial patient selection criteria and cocktail mix 45 adaptive trials often employ a bayesian experimental design to assess the trial s progress in some cases trials have become an ongoing process that regularly adds and drops therapies and patient groups as more information is gained 46 the aim is to more quickly identify drugs that have a therapeutic effect and to zero in on patient populations for whom the drug is appropriate 47 48 clinical trials are conducted typically in four phases with each phase using different numbers of subjects and having a different purpose to construct focus on identifying a specific effect 15 phases edit main article phases of clinical research national cancer institute video on the phases of clinical trials clinical trials involving new drugs are commonly classified into five phases each phase of the drug approval process is treated as a separate clinical trial the drug development process will normally proceed through phases i iv over many years frequently involving a decade or longer if the drug successfully passes through phases i ii and iii it will usually be approved by the national regulatory authority for use in the general population 15 phase iv trials are performed after the newly approved drug diagnostic or device is marketed providing assessment about risks benefits or best uses 15 phase aim notes phase 0 pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in humans phase 0 trials are optional first in human trials single subtherapeutic doses of the study drug or treatment are given to a small number of subjects typically 10 to 15 to gather preliminary data on the agent s pharmacodynamics what the drug does to the body and pharmacokinetics what the body does to the drugs 49 for a test drug the trial documents the absorption distribution metabolization and clearance excretion of the drug and the drug s interactions within the body to confirm that these appear to be as expected phase i screening for safety these are often the first in person trials testing within a small group of people typically 20 80 to evaluate safety determine safe dosage ranges and identify side effects 15 phase ii establishing the preliminary efficacy of the drug in a treatment group usually against a placebo control group phase ii a is specifically designed to assess dosing requirements how much drug should be given 15 50 while a phase ii b trial is designed to determine efficacy 100 300 people 1 assessing how well the drug works at the prescribed dose s to establish a therapeutic dose range and monitor for possible side effects 50 phase iii final confirmation of safety and efficacy testing with large groups of people typically 1 000 3 000 to confirm drug efficacy evaluate its effectiveness monitor side effects compare it to commonly used treatments and collect information that will allow it to be used safely 15 phase iv safety studies during sales postmarketing studies delineate risks benefits and optimal use as such they are ongoing during the drug s lifetime of active medical use 15 trial design edit main article clinical study design national cancer institute video on clinical trial randomization a fundamental distinction in evidence based practice is between observational studies and randomized controlled trials 51 types of observational studies in epidemiology such as the cohort study and the case control study provide less compelling evidence than the randomized controlled trial 51 in observational studies the investigators retrospectively assess associations between the treatments given to participants and their health status with potential for considerable errors in design and interpretation 52 a randomized controlled trial can provide compelling evidence that the study treatment causes an effect on human health 51 some phase ii and most phase iii drug trials are designed as randomized double blind and placebo controlled 51 randomized each study subject is randomly assigned to receive either the study treatment or a placebo blind the subjects involved in the study do not know which study treatment they receive if the study is double blind the researchers also do not know which treatment a subject receives this intent is to prevent researchers from treating the two groups differently a form of double blind study called a double dummy design allows additional insurance against bias in this kind of study all patients are given both placebo and active doses in alternating periods placebo controlled the use of a placebo fake treatment allows the researchers to isolate the effect of the study treatment from the placebo effect clinical studies having small numbers of subjects may be sponsored by single researchers or a small group of researchers and are designed to test simple questions or feasibility to expand the research for a more comprehensive randomized controlled trial 53 clinical studies can be sponsored financed and organized by academic institutions pharmaceutical companies government entities and even private groups 54 trials are conducted for new drugs biotechnology diagnostic assays or medical devices to determine their safety and efficacy prior to being submitted for regulatory review that would determine market approval active control studies edit in cases where giving a placebo to a person suffering from a disease may be unethical active comparator also known as active control trials may be conducted instead 55 in trials with an active control group subjects are given either the experimental treatment or a previously approved treatment with known effectiveness in other cases sponsors may conduct an active comparator trial to establish an efficacy claim relative to the active comparator instead of the placebo in labeling citation needed master protocol edit a master protocol includes multiple substudies which may have different objectives and involve coordinated efforts to evaluate one or more medical products in one or more diseases or conditions within the overall study structure trials that could develop a master protocol include the umbrella trial multiple medical products for a single disease platform trial multiple products for a single disease entering and leaving the platform and basket trial one medical product for multiple diseases or disease subtypes 56 genetic testing enables researchers to group patients according to their genetic profile deliver drugs based on that profile to that group and compare the results multiple companies can participate each bringing a different drug the first such approach targets squamous cell cancer which includes varying genetic disruptions from patient to patient amgen astrazeneca and pfizer are involved the first time they have worked together in a late stage trial patients whose genomic profiles do not match any of the trial drugs receive a drug designed to stimulate the immune system to attack cancer 57 clinical trial protocol edit main article clinical trial protocol a clinical trial protocol is a document used to define and manage the trial it is prepared by a panel of experts all study investigators are expected to strictly observe the protocol citation needed the protocol describes the scientific rationale objective s design methodology statistical considerations and organization of the planned trial details of the trial are provided in documents referenced in the protocol such as an investigator s brochure citation needed the protocol contains a precise study plan to assure safety and health of the trial subjects and to provide an exact template for trial conduct by investigators this allows data to be combined across all investigators sites the protocol also informs the study administrators often a contract research organization citation needed the format and content of clinical trial protocols sponsored by pharmaceutical biotechnology or medical device companies in the united states european union or japan have been standardized to follow good clinical practice guidance 58 issued by the international conference on harmonisation ich 59 regulatory authorities in canada china south korea and the uk also follow ich guidelines journals such as trials encourage investigators to publish their protocols citation needed design features edit informed consent edit example of informed consent document from the paramount trial clinical trials recruit study subjects to sign a document representing their informed consent 60 the document includes details such as its purpose duration required procedures risks potential benefits key contacts and institutional requirements 61 the participant then decides whether to sign the document the document is not a contract as the participant can withdraw at any time without penalty citation needed informed consent is a legal process in which a recruit is instructed about key facts before deciding whether to participate 60 researchers explain the details of the study in terms the subject can understand the information is presented in the subject s native language generally children cannot autonomously provide informed consent but depending on their age and other factors may be required to provide informed assent citation needed statistical power edit in any clinical trial the number of subjects also called the sample size has a large impact on the ability to reliably detect and measure the effects of the intervention this ability is described as its power which must be calculated before initiating a study to figure out if the study is worth its costs 62 in general a larger sample size increases the statistical power also the cost the statistical power estimates the ability of a trial to detect a difference of a particular size or larger between the treatment and control groups for example a trial of a lipid lowering drug versus placebo with 100 patients in each group might have a power of 0 90 to detect a difference between placebo and trial groups receiving dosage of 10 mg dl or more but only 0 70 to detect a difference of 6 mg dl citation needed placebo groups edit main article placebo controlled studies this section does not cite any sources please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources unsourced material may be challenged and removed october 2025 learn how and when to remove this message merely giving a treatment can have nonspecific effects these are controlled for by the inclusion of patients who receive only a placebo subjects are assigned randomly without informing them to which group they belonged many trials are doubled blinded so that researchers do not know to which group a subject is assigned assigning a subject to a placebo group can pose an ethical problem if it violates his or her right to receive the best available treatment the declaration of helsinki provides guidelines on this issue duration edit timeline of various approval tracks and research phases in the us clinical trials are only a small part of the research that goes into developing a new treatment potential drugs for example first have to be discovered purified characterized and tested in labs in cell and animal studies before ever undergoing clinical trials in all about 1 000 potential drugs are tested before just one reaches the point of being tested in a clinical trial 63 for example a new cancer drug has on average six years of research behind it before it even makes it to clinical trials but the major holdup in making new cancer drugs available is the time it takes to complete clinical trials themselves on average about eight years pass from the time a cancer drug enters clinical trials until it receives approval from regulatory agencies for sale to the public 64 drugs for other diseases have similar timelines some reasons a clinical trial might last several years for chronic conditions such as cancer it takes months if not years to see if a cancer treatment has an effect on a patient for drugs that are not expected to have a strong effect meaning a large number of patients must be recruited to observe any effect recruiting enough patients to test the drug s effectiveness i e getting statistical power can take several years only certain people who have the target disease condition are eligible to take part in each clinical trial researchers who treat these particular patients must participate in the trial then they must identify the desirable patients and obtain consent from them or their families to take part in the trial a clinical trial might also include an extended post study follow up period from months to years for people who have participated in the trial a so called extension phase which aims to identify long term impact of the treatment 65 the biggest barrier to completing studies is the shortage of people who take part all drug and many device trials target a subset of the population meaning not everyone can participate some drug trials require patients to have unusual combinations of disease characteristics it is a challenge to find the appropriate patients and obtain their consent especially when they may receive no direct benefit because they are not paid the...
