Additional benefits of Phase 0<br />
• The results of Phase 0 trials can improve the efficiency and chance of<br />
success of subsequent trials.<br />
• Phase 0 trials could help to evaluate the effects of an agent at the<br />
molecular level, select the lead agent from a group of compounds, and<br />
assist in optimizing the selection of the starting dose for subsequent<br />
studies. In addition, these studies can aid in developing reasonable dose<br />
escalation schedules, whereby doses of a drug are slowly increased over<br />
time in order to find the highest dose with an acceptable level of adverse<br />
side effects in the patient.
