What is a Phase 2a trial?
Clinical trials happen in phases to test new drugs safely and effectively. A Phase 2a trial, like the one for rentosertib, focuses on finding the right dosage and assessing initial effectiveness in a small group of patients. It's an early but important step, coming after safety checks in Phase 1, but before larger-scale Phase 3 trials.
