There are three phases of cancer clinical trials: • Phase I studies, which are primarily concerned with assessing a drug’s safety, are not covered currently by the DoD due to their highly experimental nature. • TRICARE beneficiaries may participate in Phase II trials, which study the safety and effectiveness of an agent or intervention on a particular type of cancer, and evaluate how it affects the human body. • TRICARE beneficiaries may also participate in Phase III trials, which compare a promising new treatment against the standard approach. These studies also focus on a particular type of cancer.
