Mechanism of action

Placebo is a non-active substance administered in clinical trials to establish baseline efficacy and safety profiles through comparison with active drug arms. Any observed effects are attributable to natural disease progression, regression to the mean, or the placebo effect (psychological/expectation-driven response). Placebo is essential for blinded trial design to isolate true drug efficacy from bias.
