- Phase II
- Efficacy, dose, metabolism
- Phase III
- Broad clinical trial for safety and efficacy
- Phase IV
- Post-marketing surveillance, adverse reactions, additional indications discovered
- Under this policy, patients with a condition like AIDS that prevents them from participating in controlled clinical trials can receive investigational drugs shown in preliminary studies to be promising
