What is an Asthma Clinical Trial?
An asthma clinical trial is a research study evaluating new treatments for asthma. Participants volunteer to receive the treatment under controlled conditions to assess its safety and effectiveness. These trials are crucial for advancing asthma care.
Phases of Clinical Trials
- Phase I: Tests safety and dosage in a small group.
- Phase II: Assesses efficacy and side effects in a larger group.
- Phase III: Confirms effectiveness and compares to standard treatments in a larger population.
- Phase IV: Monitors long-term effects post-approval.
