Who these studies look for
Phase 1 studies often have narrow eligibility: specific age and weight ranges, no recent participation in another study, no nicotine, and limits on medications. Some Phase 1 studies recruit patients rather than healthy volunteers, so check each listing.
Matching a page like this one never means you qualify. Each research team decides eligibility at screening.
Questions
Are Phase 1 trials riskier?
Every study carries risk. Phase 1 studies involve less human data about the product, which is why they are closely monitored. The informed consent document explains the known risks; read it carefully and ask questions before signing.
Why do some Phase 1 studies include overnight stays?
Staying in the unit lets staff dose on a precise schedule and collect samples around the clock. Where a record mentions an inpatient stay we flag it on the listing.
