What Does MAD Stand For?
MAD stands for Multiple Ascending Dose
MAD, or Multiple Ascending Dose, refers to a clinical trial design used to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a drug by administering increasing doses to groups of participants. This approach allows researchers to identify the maximum tolerated dose and to gather data on the drug's effects at different dosage levels, facilitating informed decisions on further development and dosing regimens.
