Phase II trial

Definition: Phase II in a (cancer) clinical trial tests whether a new treatment has an anticancer effect, for example, whether it shrinks a tumor or improves blood test results, and whether it works against a certain type of cancer. (CNet) A phase II trial continues to test the safety of the drug, and begins to evaluate how well the new drug works. Phase II studies usually focus on a particular type of cancer.
