preclinical trials

Preclinical trials are the initial phase of testing new medical treatments or drugs before they are tested on humans. In this stage, researchers use laboratory experiments and animal studies to assess the safety, effectiveness, and potential side effects of the treatment. The goal is to gather enough data to determine whether the treatment is promising and safe enough to proceed to clinical trials with people. Preclinical trials are essential for identifying any risks early and ensuring that only the most promising candidates move forward in the development process.
