What Challenges are Faced in Toxicology Clinical Trials?
Conducting toxicology clinical trials presents several challenges, including:
Identifying the Appropriate Dose: Balancing between a dose that is too low to elicit effects and one that is too high and poses significant risks. Long-term Monitoring: Many toxic effects manifest only after prolonged exposure, necessitating extended follow-up periods. Recruitment: Finding and retaining participants willing to be exposed to potentially toxic substances can be difficult. Data Interpretation: Differentiating between causal relationships and coincidental findings requires rigorous statistical analysis.
