Study phases cannot be deleted.
Note: Changes to study phases will only be reflected in the Study Definition module after the Library Management module has been closed.
There are 4 distinct study phases, each corresponding to a different stage in the process of bringing a new drug to the market. Phase I studies test the new treatment in a very small group of subjects to determine the safety, appropriate dose, and best method of applying the treatment. Phase II studies test the treatment in a larger group of subjects to determine whether and how well the treatment works against the disease. Phase III studies compare the study treatment with the best standard treatment. Phase IIII studies occur after the treatment has been put on the market to monitor effects of long-term usage.
