Our Clinical Trials

Access to clinical trial data is important for the advancement of medical science. Direct Biologics is committed to conducting clinical research in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and data privacy requirements.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study conducted to evaluate an investigational product. These studies are designed to assess safety, how the product behaves in the body, and its potential effects in a specific condition. “Investigational” means the product has not been approved by regulatory authorities—such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA)—for a particular use or patient population.

Why are clinical trials important?

Clinical trials are a critical component of medical research and are required to evaluate investigational products. Before an investigational product can be approved for general use, it must be studied in a series of clinical trials. These studies are designed to evaluate safety and effectiveness in the intended patient population. Many currently available therapies were developed through clinical research focused on conditions with unmet medical needs.

What are the phases in clinical trials?

Clinical trials for investigational products are conducted in stages, commonly referred to as “phases.” Each phase is designed with a specific objective and helps researchers gather information about the product’s safety, dosing, and potential effects.

The phases of clinical research

Pre-Clinical Trials

Before clinical trials begin, investigational products are evaluated in a laboratory and non-clinical studies to assess initial safety and biological activity.

Phase I

Evaluates safety, tolerability, and how the investigational product behaves in the body, typically in a small number of participants.

Phase II

Further evaluates safety and explores dosing and potential effects in individuals with the condition under study.

Phase III

Evaluates safety and effectiveness in a larger population to support regulatory review.

Phase IV

Conducted after regulatory approval to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness in broader patient populations.
