Mechanism of action

A placebo lead-in period is a methodological approach in clinical trials where all enrolled patients initially receive placebo for a defined duration. This allows researchers to measure natural disease progression, establish stable baseline measurements, and identify patients with high placebo response rates who may be excluded from the main randomized phase. This design strengthens the ability to detect true drug effects by reducing noise from placebo responders.
