How many phases of clinical studies are there write your answer in numeric from
Answers
The phases of clinical research are the stages in which scientists conduct experiments with a health intervention to obtain sufficient evidence for a process considered effective as a medical treatment.[1] For drug development, the clinical phases start with testing for safety in a few human subjects, then expand to many study participants (potentially tens of thousands) to determine if the treatment is effective.[1] Clinical research is conducted on drug candidates, vaccine candidates, new medical devices, and new diagnostic assays.

SummaryEdit
Clinical trials testing potential medical products are commonly classified into four phases. The drug development process will normally proceed through all four phases over many years.[1] If the drug successfully passes through Phases I, II, and III, it will usually be approved by the national regulatory authority for use in the general population.[1] Phase IV trials are 'post-marketing' or 'surveillance' studies conducted to monitor safety over several years.[1]
