Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order starts with initial design and screening (U), followed by extensive animal trials (W) to ensure safety before human testing. Next, the drug is evaluated at a low dose in humans to determine side effects and how the drug is processed by the body (X), followed by evaluating a range of drug concentrations to find a safe dose (V). The drug's effect is then tested in a controlled setting (Z) before being evaluated in larger groups under real-world conditions (Y).
