Randomized controlled trials are the best way of testing therapeutic products to determine if they perform as expected and actually make a difference in treating a specific disease. Once preliminary evidence from phase II studies reveals that a treatment is probably effective, phase III trials are carried out to fully examine the risk/benefit profile of an experimental drug in a broader population over a longer period of time.

Time to abandon placebo control in pivotal phase III trials?

Abstract

Randomized controlled trials are the best way of testing therapeutic products to determine if they perform as expected and actually make a difference in treating a specific disease. Once preliminary evidence from phase II studies reveals that a treatment is probably effective, phase III trials are carried out to fully examine the risk/benefit profile of an experimental drug in a broader population over a longer period of time.
