Clinical Trial Phases Powerpoint Presentation Slides

Medicine that you and I take are made by businesses that have to ensure phased-clinical trials of these before launch into the market. The aim of the clinical, over multiple phases, is to ensure safe and data-based clearance of a new treatment, drug or surgical device. These trials test whether the new solutions are safe and effective.

The clinical trials, however, are meant to test the drug over the long haul and human health is involved. The drug is, thus, first tested in the lab, then on a small group of people, and eventually on a larger group. The whole process can take years and cost a lot of money.

As part of the research team, you may need to present data on different aspects of the trial. For example, all the people involved need to know the goals, processes, and tests that will be conducted throughout the clinical trial. This is where our clinical trial phase PPT comes into the picture.

Our pre-designed and content-ready clinical trial templates can be used at any stage of the trial. For example, you can use the PPT to provide sponsors with progress reports. Or you can use it to share findings with the authorities. It can also help potential participants make informed decisions.

If you are looking to secure funding for your clinical trial, consider using our customizable communication and budget slide in your PPT. You can present budget and communication details for each clinical trial stage.

Clinical Trial Phases Template

Our clinical trial template can be used at any stage of the trial. We have used a mix of tables, pie charts, funnels, bar charts, and sequential flows to keep the findings organized while maintaining audience engagement. You can add or remove slides, edit the color scheme and graphics, and include relevant content.

If you want to help your peers in the medical sector who wish to learn more or participate in such research studies, use our clinical trial guidelines template. The slide includes instructions using which you can personalize it to your area of study.

Let’s explore!

Template 1: Milestones

The milestones slide provides a high-level view of the clinical trial process and milestones. The slide uses a timeline design to present the stages in the trial. These stages are preclinical, phase 1, 2, and 3, FDA review, and phase 4. You can add the number of participants involved in each phase. Lastly, you can add specific milestones at the end of a phase. For example, we have mentioned milestones like drug approved for human testing and FDA approval. The content is kept to a minimum. The emphasis is one the milestones which can present with lists.

Template 2: Process Flow

The process flow slide is where you can start elaborating on the clinical trial phases. For example, you can add the tests you will be conducting and the strategy and outcome. The slide uses a vertical roadmap design to present the phases. Each phase has a different color for easier distinction and understanding. You can add the content in a bulleted format list. The milestone slide is all about achieving goals, and the process flow slide tells the audience how you plan to achieve those goals.

Template 3: Objective and Timeline

The slide focuses on three attributes of each phase. They are objective, timeline, and number of participants. The design lets the viewers know the later phases will take longer to complete. There are text boxes available at the bottom of the slide which you can use to add relevant details.

Template 4: Outcomes

As the name suggests, the slide lets you list the outcome of each clinical trial phase. For example, the percentage of drugs moving to the next phase or the rate of efficacy achieved. The milestone and outcome slides answer the same question in their own ways.

The milestones provide a high-level view, the outcome slide is more descriptive. We have used four vertical text boxes with labels, colors, and icons for the phases. The text boxes take up most of the slide, so you have enough space to present your findings.

Template 5: Review and Approval Process

New drugs and treatments are reviewed by regulatory bodies and ethics committees. The exact process may differ from one country to another. You can use this slide to provide details about the approval process. We have used a sequential flow design to show the process. The three main sections are preclinical, clinical trials, and review. You can add content about the type of testing and results expected. We have used graphics to show the number of participants, review process and reports to make the viewing experience interesting. You can customize the content and graphics to suit your research results.

Template 6: Discovery Science

Discovery science is the process of finding new information through experimental data. For example, the initial phases of drug testing will be carried out in a lab and then on animals before it will be approved for human testing. In medicine, these discoveries can help uncover new treatments for critical illnesses and reduce health costs. The slide lets you revisit the clinical trial phases along with discovery science. The phases are denoted by an ordered bar chart design with icons and headings. The individual bars double up as text boxes for your content.

Template 7: Participants Type

The slide is a graphical representation of the clinical trial phases, timeline, and objective, with the primary focus on participants. The main element of the slide is the pyramid at the center. It shows the number of participants required and the timeline of each stage. On the left-hand side, you will see an arrow graphic showing the phases. On the right-hand side, you can mention the desired outcome in relation to the participants. When added to PPTs, visual slides like this can give viewers a welcome break from content overload. It can also make complex topics easier to understand.

Template 8: Licensing

Depending on the regulatory bodies involved, every new treatment or drug must go through a licensing process. This is where the outcome of each phase is reviewed, and the authorities decide if the drug is safe for the population. The slide helps you list the drug's effectiveness, side effects, and dosage in each phase. You can explain the licensing process and when you can start manufacturing. A timeline flow with a mix of descriptive icons and lists is used for clear communication.

Template 9: Drug Compound

Drug compounds are tested for safety, dosage, and efficacy in a clinical trial. Looking at data from the FDA, during research, about 70% of compounds move from phase 1 to 2. But when it comes to phases 3 to 4, only 25 to 30% of drugs make the cut. You can present this data in the form of a funnel. The funnel is color-coordinated with the phases. You can mention the number of compounds that make it through each phase. You can add text to the left-hand side of the funnel, but the slide design moves towards a data visualization approach.

If you are looking for an alternative drug compound design, here is a template for your reference. You will also receive instructions on how to edit the slide to suit your clinical trial findings.

Template 10: Participants Required

Use this PPT Template to elaborate on the participants required, the time taken, and the aim for each clinical trial phase. For example, the initial testing will be done on tens of participants for a few months. In contrast, the later phases will involve thousands of participants who will be studied over the years. You can present the data neatly using tables. Again, the text content is kept to a minimum while the focus is on graphical representation. The participants and aim details are represented with icons. As the slides are editable, you can change the graphics and include other icons as required.

A Complete Visual Aid for Clinical Trial Phases

Our clinical trial phases PPT cover different aspects of the trial.  These include objectives, timeline, cost, participants, processes, and reviews. You can use the PPT for sponsor and participant awareness, updates, or to present findings. The phases are color-coordinated throughout the PPT. We have used a mix of tables, funnels, charts, and timeline flows to present data. You can customize the slides according to your research findings. We provide additional slides complete with charts and Venn diagrams that can help you present supplementary topics.
