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.
