Clinical Trial Management & Phases (I–IV)

Introduction – Clinical Trial Management & Phases

Clinical trials progress through Phases I–IV, each addressing unique objectives in drug development — from first-in-human testing to post-marketing surveillance. Effective Clinical Trial Management (CTM) ensures that these phases are executed efficiently, ethically, and in compliance with regulatory standards such as ICH-GCP, FDA, and EMA guidelines.

The CTPH program introduces learners to the structure, conduct, and management of clinical trial phases. It provides a foundational understanding of trial operations, responsibilities of stakeholders, and the role of trial management in ensuring success from study start-up to close-out.
