Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Approval of a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) in Canada allows for the conduct of human testing for a new drug or medical device. Animal testing may have already taken place at earlier stages of the drug development process, but the CTA specifically pertains to testing in human subjects. Distribution of the drug or device would require further approvals from Health Canada once testing is complete. Phase 2 trials may be included as part of the human testing process, but the CTA is not limited to Phase 2 trials alone.
