Experimental drug
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An experimental drug is a substance that has been tested in a laboratory and has got approval from regulatory authorities to be tested on people. In the United States, the body responsible for approval is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A drug may be approved for use in one disease or condition but be considered experimental or investigational in other diseases or conditions.
An example of a medical drug that has been tested but not yet on the market is medical cannabis[citation needed].
