Clinical Trials
We focus on the discovery and development of safe and effective therapies to find optimal solutions for those who need it.
How it Works
A clinical trial is a type of research involving human volunteers (also called participants) that follow strict protocols to evaluate whether a new drug is safe and effective in people. Clinical trials are usually conducted in multiple phases, each of which are designed to answer specific scientific questions. Data from these studies are then submitted to regulatory agencies, (e.g. US Food & Drug Administration), to gain approval of the new drug or treatment.
Find the safest dose
Test for beneficial effects and undesirable effects
Monitor adverse reactions
Test long term safety, in a diverse patient population
Phase 1
Focus on the study drug’s safety and tolerability. Phase 1 trials evaluate multiple doses in a small number of individuals that are, often, healthy volunteers.
Phase 2
Focus on the study drug’s safety and efficacy in patients with the disease or condition being studied. If a study drug is found to be reasonably safe in Phase 1 trials, it will then be investigated in Phase 2.
Phase 3
Focus on the study drug’s safety and efficacy, oftentimes compared to standard-of-care or control groups. Phase 3 trials typically evaluate much larger numbers of patients and follow the most rigorous protocols of the different phases. A study drug that passes Phase 3 can be submitted to regulatory agencies for approval to be marketed to the general public.
Phase 4
Pursue ongoing evaluation and monitor the study drug in patients, even after receiving regulatory approval.
Expanded Access Policy
As we advance our investigational therapies through clinical development, our goal is to provide access to these therapies at the appropriate time and in the correct manner for patients.
