What is a placebo?
What is a placebo?
A substance or treatment that has no active effect (like a sugar pill). It's used to compare with a real treatment to see if the real treatment has a genuine effect, or if it's just the expectation of treatment that's working.
What is a Phase 1 clinical trial?
What is a Phase 1 clinical trial?
The first stage of testing a new drug on humans. It involves small groups of healthy volunteers and focuses on safety and side effects, not effectiveness.
What is a Phase 3 clinical trial?
What is a Phase 3 clinical trial?
The third phase of clinical trials comparing a new drug with an existing standard treatment (or placebo) to see if it's more effective and safe. It involves hundreds or thousands of patients.

Study Notes
Q1: Placebo Examples
- Herbal medications with no proven effect are a type of placebo.
- Sham surgery is also a form of placebo.
Q2: Phase 1 Clinical Trials
- Phase 1 clinical trials primarily assess drug safety.
Q3: Drug Comparison in Clinical Trials
- Phase III clinical trials compare a new drug (B) to an existing drug (A) to assess efficacy.
Q4: Pharmacovigilance Definition
- Pharmacovigilance is the process of monitoring drug safety.
Q5: Phase 4 Clinical Trials
- Phase IV clinical trials occur after a drug is marketed to the public.
Q6: Pandemic Definition and Experience
- A pandemic is a global disease outbreak.
- Students should describe their Covid-19 pandemic experience (50-100 words).
Q7: COVID-19 Vaccines
- Students should list various vaccines developed to prevent COVID-19, including any Indian-developed ones.
Q8: Off-Label Drug Use
- "Off-label" use of medication involves using a drug for a reason different from its approved medical use, often during a pandemic.
- Students should provide examples of off-label uses related to COVID-19.
Q9: Fast-Track Drug Approvals
- "Fast-track approvals" are accelerated procedures for drug approvals during critical health emergencies such as pandemics.
- Students should offer examples of drugs/vaccines that received fast-track approval during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Q10: Pharmacovigilance Importance during Pandemics
- Pharmacovigilance is crucial during pandemics since new treatments and medications are in use.
- Thorough monitoring is essential to identify adverse effects or issues related to newly approved drugs.
