Characteristics of Phase 3?
- Phase 3 studeis typically involve 300 to 3,000 participants from patient populations for which the medicine is eventually intended to be used
- Participants are assigned to receive either the medication being evaluated or a control group that receives either the current standard of care treatment or a placebo
- Phase 3 studies are diagnosed to:
- demonstrate whether or not a drug candidate offers a treament benefit to a specific population
- provide more detailed saftey data, and
- serve as the basis for product labeling
- Only 33% of drugs make it to Phase 3
