In Phase I trials, researchers test an experimental drug or treatment in a small group of people (20–80) for the first time. The purpose is to evaluate its safety and identify side effects. Our Phase 1 Facility is an advanced, comprehensive unit specifically created for Phase I clinical drug and device studies. Since 2006, we have performed several intent-to-treat studies across multiple therapeutic areas.
