Phase II/III Trials
In today’s lesson, the class will be choosing one drug to submit to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for approval. This decision will be based on various perspectives and data that will help the class determine whether it is financially risky to continue with the chosen drug and whether the benefits outweigh the risks for HIV patients. Some of the information students will analyze is data from Phase II/III trials, in which the drug is tested in HIV patients for both toxicity and efficacy at reducing HIV viral loads. Other information students will analyze includes drug resistance data, projected revenue, and factors that affect the drug’s marketability such as efficacy, cost, and the particular viral targets of the drugs.
