The average length of Phase I oncology trials typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. These trials are designed primarily to evaluate safety, determine the appropriate dosage, and assess potential side effects of a new treatment in a small group of patients. The duration can vary based on factors like:
Complexity of the treatment (e.g., immunotherapies or targeted therapies may take longer to
Patient recruitment speed (which can be slow in oncology due to specific inclusion/exclusion criteria),
Follow-up periods to assess long-term safety and response to the treatment
As we are past 36 months now, and rampers are all banging on about testing an existing drug (doc), complexity is not their excuse for this timeline.
What are the main causes for ridiculous timelines?
