What Does MTD Stand For?
MTD stands for Maximum Tolerated Dose
MTD, or Maximum Tolerated Dose, refers to the highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects in patients. It is a critical parameter in clinical trials, particularly in oncology, where determining the MTD helps establish dosage levels that balance efficacy and safety. Identifying the MTD is essential for optimizing therapeutic regimens and minimizing adverse reactions while ensuring patient welfare.
