ii. Phase II Clinical Drug Trial
Phase I Clinical Drug Trials are initial studies designed to evaluate efficacy
of the study drug in a small number of selected populations or patient for
whom the drug is intended which may be open label or single or double
blind. Blood levels at various intervals, adverse experiences, and
additional Phase I data may be obtained. Small doses are gradually
increased until the minimal effective dose is found. All reactions of the
subjects are carefully recorded. Preliminary estimates of the dosage,
efficacy and safety in man are made. The second part of Phase II consists
of pivotal well controlled studied that usually represent the most rigorous
demonstrations of a drug efficacy. Relative safety information is also
determined in Phase II studies. A larger number of patients are enrolled
into the second part (N = 60 to 200 subjects). Phase II studies are
conducted by accredited Clinical Pharmacologists. Phase II second part
studies may be conducted by well qualified practitioners or clinicians who
are familiar with the conditions to be treated, the drug used in these
conditions to be treated, the drug used in these conditions and the
methods of their evaluation. A written informed consent of patientsparticipants is needed.
iii. Phase III Clinical Drug Trial
Phase III clinical drug trials are studies conducted in patient populations
for which the drug is eventually intended. These studies generate data on
both safety and efficacy in relatively large numbers of patients under
normal use conditions in both controlled and uncontrolled studies. The
number of patients required vary [sic] (1,000 to 10,000). These studies
provide much of the information that is needed for the package insert and
labelling of the drug. This phase may be conducted as a multicentric trial
among accredited clinicians. The informed consent of participating subject
is preferably in written form.
iv. Biovailability
Bioavailability studies are conducted to determine the rate and extent to
which the active substance or therapeutic moiety is absorbed from a
pharmaceutical form and becomes available at the site of action.
