Phase III trials use a much larger patient population – in the thousands – to give statistical weight to results that can prove safety and efficacy. This phase helps determine the drug’s benefit-risk ratio. Averaging three years, Phase III trials consume the vast majority of overall investment – as much as 90 percent – because of the requirement for validation, larger size, and greater risk.
Phase III successes move on to New Drug Applications or Biologics License Applications with the U.S. FDA and/or similar approvals from other global regulatory agencies.
We offer technology transfer and facility design services to prepare you for transitioning from clinical to commercial production.
Phase III Needs:
According to ICH Q10, the goal of technology transfer activities is to transfer product and process knowledge between development and manufacturing, and within or between manufacturing sites to achieve product realization.
