WHAT IS A PHASE I CLINICAL TRIAL?
A phase I clinical trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and timing of a new treatment. It is the first step in testing a new treatment in humans and phase I clinical trials usually include only a small number of patients. Phase I trials are also required when testing a new combination of previously approved drugs.
