what is an early stage clinical study
Early clinical development is primarily composed of human proof of principle/pilot clinical studies â to confirm feasibility in human, explore patient populations and performance claims. Concomitantly, subsequent clinical trials are outlined and prepared for.
And these are different phases of clinical trials, starting with the first exposure of a medicine to, to a human person, which is called a phase 1 trial. And generally phase 1 trials are not undertaken in children for quite obvious reasons that it, the first exposure to the medicine should be in healthy adults.There are some situations in which the first exposure of a medicine should be in a child.linical trials are carried out when we do not know whether a treatment works or which treatment works best. Sometimes evidence from a trial shows we can stop giving people a treatment which does not work or it can prove a new treatment is worth taking.
