When conducting clinical trials of a new drug, the goal is to get a clear understanding of the effectiveness and potential hazards of the new drug before marketing and selling it. By varying the doses given to the clinical trial participants, companies can determine the safety and effectiveness of different amounts of the drug. They can evaluate how much of the drug is necessary to be effective, the side effects that may occur with different dosages, and whether the intensity of side effects changes at different dosages. Companies can also compare the effectiveness and side effects of their drugs against other similar drugs used to treat the same disease.

What is an inert medication?

When studying the effect (efficacy) of a medication, researchers will give some subjects doses of the medication under study and others an inactive or inert doses to see the relative effect of the medication. This known as a 'blind study' because the participants do not know know whether they received the medication or the inert dose. A 'double blind study' is when a third party designs the experiment and prepares the doses so that neither the subject or the scientist doing the testing knows which is getting the live dose.
