hes the tumor, how the drug acts in the human body, and how cancer cells respond to the drug. The patients in these studies must have extra biopsies, scans, and blood samples. The biggest difference between phase 0 and the later phases of clinical trials is that there is no chance the volunteer will be helped by taking part in a phase 0 trial. Because drug doses are low, there is also less risk to the patient in phase 0 studies compared with phase I studies. Phase 0 studies help researchers find out which drugs do not do what they are expected to do.
2. Phase¥° trials
Phase 1 executes initial clinical testing of new drug. The Phase1 major object is that defines safety dose quantity and evaluates appearance of drug feasibility. Phase 1 testing is usually designed based on clear pre-clinical test which proof the effect to animal. Generally patients who want to participant phase1 have malignancy disease has no effective medicine or remedy option. Important points of Phase 1 are defini
