Dose-Ranging Study

Meaning

A Dose-Ranging Study is a type of clinical trial designed to evaluate the effects of different doses of a therapeutic agent, such as a hormone replacement compound or a novel drug, to determine the optimal dosage that achieves the desired efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. These studies are fundamental in clinical endocrinology to establish the therapeutic window and guide safe, individualized prescribing practices. They systematically explore the relationship between the administered dose and the resulting biological response.
