Phase 2 Trials

Phase 2 trials are research studies that assess the effectiveness and safety of a new treatment after initial testing in Phase 1. In Phase 2, the treatment is given to a larger group of people, usually those who have the condition the treatment targets. Researchers look for how well the treatment works and monitor for side effects. This phase helps determine the optimal dose and further understand the treatment's potential benefits and risks. Successful Phase 2 trials can lead to Phase 3 trials, which involve even more participants to confirm findings.
