요약	An Adaptive Phase IV study is a post-marketing surveillance study conducted after a drug or intervention has received regulatory approval, augmented with pre-specified adaptive design elements that allow pre-planned modifications to the study protocol in response to accumulating data. These modifications may include sample size re-estimation, endpoint adjustments, or population enrichment, all governed by statistical rules set before the study begins, preserving scientific integrity while increasing efficiency.	A Phase IV study is a post-marketing surveillance study conducted after a drug, device, or intervention has received regulatory approval. Its primary purpose is to monitor long-term safety, detect rare adverse events, assess effectiveness in routine clinical practice, and explore new indications or populations not adequately represented in earlier trials. Phase IV evidence accumulates continuously throughout a product's commercial life.
