Clinical Dosage Trials

Meaning

Clinical Dosage Trials represent a specific category of clinical research, typically corresponding to Phase I and Phase II studies, explicitly designed to determine the safest and most effective dose or range of a new therapeutic agent. These trials are paramount for establishing the pharmacologic foundation of a drug or supplement, moving beyond initial safety checks to identify the optimal concentration that maximizes therapeutic benefit while minimizing adverse effects. The results inform the larger, pivotal Phase III trials and subsequent clinical prescribing guidelines.
