pacjenci okresu poprzedzającego rozpoczęcie testów klinicznych
explanation:
The period of time used to take patients off their existing medications in order to prepare them to be treated with a new drug. This may be accomplished through the administration of a placebo for up to two weeks.
A related contrast is the investigator’s option to carefully select a set of patients that are motivated and more likely to adhere to the treatment regimen. Some patient groups are not able to adhere to even a moderately complex treatment program, which thereby dilutes the study. One of the best ways to ensure an efficient clinical trial is to establish a run-in period, and then restrict subsequent patient entry onto the main study to only those who demonstrated that they could adhere to the run-in regimen. This strategy is also effective in identification of patients who will be the least likely to be lost to follow-up.
