Classification - Clinical Trials
Phase I relates to the safety of the drug under

investigation in healthy volunteers. The aim is to
establish the appropriate doses of a drug to be
investigated in later trials and understand how the
drug is dealt with in the body.
Phase II usually involves a small (usually randomised)
trial investigating the potential benefits of a drug
among patients with a particular disease. These trials
are also used establish which therapies have the
potential to be investigated in full-scale, phase III
randomised trials.
Phase III trials are full-scale randomised controlled
trials evaluating the benefits of a drug against a
placebo or standard therapy in a substantial number of
patients. This is the key stage in establishing the
impact of a drug
Phase IV relates to the stage after a drug has been
approved and involves the long-term monitoring of the
safety of the drug. It sometimes refers to the
marketing process by which the drug is brought to the


attention of a large number of medical practitioners.

Allocation au traitement – randomisée?

A trial needs to be….
Controlled
– Any intervention needs to be compared to

one or more other interventions. This is often
a new treatment compared to standard
treatment. In drug therapy trials there will
often be a placebo control.
Unbiased
– There needs to be a fair comparison
between the treatments with no bias,
whether deliberate or accidental
– Randomisation is crucial: patients are

randomly allocated to a particular treatment


group.

Follow up complet ?

Adjustments to Sample Size Calculations

Patients who are lost to follow up
Multiply the required sample size by 1/(1−Q)
where Q is the proportion expected to be lost to
follow-up.

Patients who receive the alternative
treatment
Multiply the required sample size by
where Q1 is the proportion in group 1 getting the
treatment for group 2, and Q2 = proportion in group 2
getting the treatment for group 1.
Patients who stop treatment
Multiply the required sample size by 1/(1-Q)2
where Q is the proportion on the active therapy who
stop taking their medication.

Précision de l’estimation
A trial needs to be…
Large
– Patients vary considerably in their
response to treatment. In order to
obtain a precise estimate of any
treatment effect, sufficiently large
numbers are require

p-value
the probability (ranging from 0 to 1) that the results observed in a trial
(or results more extreme) could have occurred by chance if the null
hypothesis is true. Therefore the smaller the p-value, the less likely the
null hypothesis is to be true. For example, a p-value=0.0001 indicates
the null hypothesis is very unlikely to be true whereas a p-value=0.53
indicates the observed results could easily have arisen by chance
Confidence interval
A confidence interval is an interval, constructed around an estimate from a
sample (e.g. the estimate of the size of effect of an intervention), that indicates
the uncertainty in the estimate because it was obtained from a sample. If
independent samples are taken repeatedly from the same population, and a
confidence interval calculated for each sample, then for example 95% (the
confidence level) of the intervals will include the unknown population parameter
95% of the time. Confidence intervals can be for other values e.g. 90%, 99%,
99.9%.
