What describes a pharmaceutical form tested or used as a reference in a clinical trial?

  1. Investigational Drug

  2. Over-the-counter medication

  3. Generic drug

  4. Approved drug with no alterations

The correct answer is: Investigational Drug

Pharmaceutical forms that are used as a reference in clinical trials are known as Investigational Drugs. This is because they are still being tested and have not yet been approved by regulatory agencies for use in patients. The other options, such as Over-the-counter medication, Generic drug, and Approved drug with no alterations, are not considered to be investigational drugs as they have already been approved for use in patients, have a generic equivalent, or have already been tested and approved without any alterations.
