In Phase 2 drug trials, the purpose is to assess the drug's effectiveness in treating a specific condition. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the participants only have the condition that the drug is intended to treat and are otherwise healthy. This helps to isolate the effectiveness of the drug and minimize any potential confounding factors from other health issues. Healthy volunteers (A) may be used in Phase 1 trials but are not typically used in Phase 2. Laboratory animals (B) are used in preclinical studies before Phase 1 trials but are not used in Phase 2 trials with human participants.
