Mechanism of action

Placebo is an inert substance administered in blinded clinical trials to establish baseline disease progression and distinguish true drug efficacy from natural disease course or psychological expectation effects. In this Phase 3 trial context (weeks 48-72), placebo recipients receive no active therapeutic intervention, allowing researchers to measure the true clinical benefit of the investigational agent being tested.
