How to Achieve a Good Phage Therapy Clinical Trial

Modern and well-conducted clinical trials in phage therapy are counted on the fingers of a single hand. Needless to say, individual case treatments are numerous, especially in Eastern European countries like Russia, Georgia, or Poland. But most of the scientific evidence trials are missing or considered useless because of the current, pragmatic, and daily medicinal practice of phage therapy in these countries. However, in Western countries, phage therapy disappeared from pharmacopoeias for most than three decades and bacteriophages are unknown to the young generations of clinicians. The clinical knowledge data base needs to be rebuilt according to the most recent evaluation criteria.
