Description
The approval of a new drug is a four-stage process: (1) preclinical investigation, (2) clinical investigation, (3) NDA submission and review, and (4) postmarketing studies.

Postmarketing studies, also called postmarketing surveillance, continue in large patient groups during the fourth stage of drug development.
