Talk:Phases of clinical research

Useful table of success rates

I've just added a link to Wong et al's 2019 analysis (Wong CH, Siah KW, Lo AW. Estimation of clinical trial success rates and related parameters. Biostatistics. 2019 Apr 1;20(2):273-86.), which includes a useful summary table. I lack the editing skills to create a table showing the findings; perhaps someone could take this on? Am sure readers would find it useful! Thanks Robma (talk) 11:28, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

@Wen D House: Interesting. I could set up a table but what data should we include? There is a lot here, too much to bring to this article.

This paper considers clinical trials. registered in the United States ClinicalTrials.gov, so I think it is not globally representative. I still think we could include it. Blue Rasberry (talk) 11:40, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Is this page meant to cover International Pipeline or just US?

Most references are FDA. Is this a page on US drug development? what about EC UK or Japan? 24.246.137.99 (talk) 16:29, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

The article sources show that the phases of clinical trials described are used worldwide, including mention by the World Health Organization. It can be assumed that approval of a drug or any medical product for marketing in the USA, as regulated by the FDA, is a goal most manufacturers wish to achieve for the size and visibility the US market provides. This may explain why FDA sources - which are rigorous and updated frequently - are useful explanations for the trial process in the article.

Also used by multinational trial sponsors, the US National Library of Medicine provides a registry of clinical trials in their different phases ongoing or completed around the world. Zefr (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
