Clinical Development 301: Phase II/III
Clinical Development 301: Phase II/III focuses on the purpose and critical differences between well-controlled Phase II and III studies. This class expertly explains the art of trial design and how each protocol measures efficacy via primary and secondary endpoints. Section two focuses on pharmacovigilance and the pivotal role of independent Data Safety Monitoring Boards who exhaustively review data to make critical recommendations about trial continuation, modification, or termination. Clinical Development 301 reveals the regulatory considerations of special designations that can accelerate the drug candidates’ development. The class ends with an explanation of the New Drug Application (NDA) and Biologics License Application (BLA) that must be filed with and approved by the FDA to receive drug marketing approval.

Section 1: Phase II/III Introduction
Identifies the principle elements of a well-controlled Phase I/II clinical trial with an in-depth look at study design, endpoints, and statistical analysis. The concepts of a null hypothesis, p-value, type 1 error, type 2 error, power, variability, and treatment size effects are explained.
Section 2: Phase II/III Objective and Design
Compares the general characteristics of Phase II and Phase III clinical trials. Defines pivotal study, adaptive trial, basket trial, and umbrella trial. Discusses the function and types of recommendations the Data Safety Monitoring Boards provide.
Section 3: Phase II/III Special Designations
