The purpose of Phase-II trials is to gather more data on the safety and efficacy of the drug or treatment being tested. Studying 10-12 patients allows for a sufficient sample size to assess the drug's effects and potential side effects, while also minimizing the risk to patients. This sample size strikes a balance between obtaining meaningful results and minimizing the resources required for the trial.
