Bar chart comparing years of preclinical and clinical drug development stages. Preclinical research takes roughly 3 to 6 years, Phase 1 takes 1 to 2 years, Phase 2 takes 2 to 3 years, Phase 3 takes 3 to 4 years, and FDA review takes 1 to 2 years, illustrating that AI drug discovery still faces a decade-long wet-lab gap before reaching patients.
