Inadequate dissemination of phase I trials: a retrospective cohort study.

<h4>Background</h4>Drug development is ideally a logical sequence in which information from small early studies (Phase I) is subsequently used to inform and plan larger, more definitive studies (Phases II-IV). Phase I trials are unique because they generally provide the first evaluation...

The comparison of 140 Phase I trials with 304 Phase II-IV trials, showed that Phase I studies were more likely to be initiated (133/140 [95%] versus 269/304 [88%]), more likely to be completed (127/133 [95%] versus 218/269 [81%]), and more likely to produce confirmatory results (71/83 [86%] versus 125/175 [71%]) than Phase II-IV trials.
