In other studies, especially for chronic conditions, the benefit may be an improved quality of life. If the treatment seems to be effective for treating the condition, the study will likely move on to a phase 3 clinical trial.
Phase 3 clinical trials are much larger than the ones conducted in Phase 1 or Phase 2. These trials involve hundreds or even thousands of participants, and are often conducted in many regions around the globe. Treatments that have been shown to work in phase 2 are evaluated again and on a larger scale, prior to being approved for general use. Doctors compare the new treatment with the best treatment known today also called the "standard treatment".
To do this, they need to assign people to different groups as part of the clinical trial. The patients in each group get a specific treatment, and the treatments are different between each of the groups. This helps them to see if the new treatment works better than the standard treatment, if it has fewer side effects, or both. Because doctors don't know which treatment is better yet, study participants are often assigned to the groups randomly, and neither the doctors nor patients know which treatment they're on.
Placebos may be used in some trials , but are rarely used alone if there's already an approved treatment that has been shown to work. These trials can take many years, and if the results show that the treatment works well, the research team can then apply for FDA approval to make the treatment available to the general public. In the case that the medicine is approved, regulators will decide how it would be used, as well as which patients would qualify to receive the new treatment.
This will be determined based on the evidence that is gathered through all clinical trial phases of the medication. When phase 3 clinical trials or sometimes phase 2 trials show a new drug is more effective and safer than the current standard treatment, a New Drug Application NDA is submitted to the Food and Drug Administration FDA for approval.
Based on the review, the FDA decides whether or not to approve the treatment for patients with the condition the drug was tested on to be used in a different condition, additional clinical trials have to be done. If the FDA believes that more evidence is needed to show that the new treatment's benefits outweigh its risks, it will ask for more information or even require that more studies to be done. If approved, the new treatment often becomes a standard of care, and newer treatments must often be compared to it before being approved.
In certain instances, the FDA approval of a new medication is accelerated. Accelerated Approval can be granted to medications that show promise in treating severe or life-threatening conditions, and may provide additional benefits over what is currently available. After the medication becomes available on the market, the drug manufacturer must conduct post-marketing trials to confirm the therapeutic benefit of the drug.
