phase II trials

Phase II trials are a stage in medical research where a new treatment is tested on a larger group of people to evaluate its effectiveness and monitor for side effects. This phase helps determine if the treatment shows promise in treating a condition and if it is safe enough to proceed to larger studies. Participants typically have the condition the treatment aims to address, and researchers collect data on how well the treatment works and any adverse reactions. Phase II is a crucial step in ensuring the treatment is both effective and safe before it moves on to larger, more definitive trials.
