    These phases don’t even mention the phase of timing releases of information to investors. I believe phases are timed to maximize investors increasing the stock price of these development companies. A fast trial and weak results not too great for bottom line.

      You are right, it does not mention anything about investors because that wasn’t what I was searching for.

    Interestingly the trial I’m about to start is a Phase 1b/2a first-in-human trial. Progress & dosing regimen in Phase 2b is dependent on safety & efficacy results from Phase 1b. Some participants will skip Phase 1b.

    For better or worse, as the first participant I’m a sentinel. I have more intensive monitoring, but also a greater chance of placebo. Why?????
