Phase 1 clinical trials are the foundation of clinical drug development, marking the transition from laboratory research to human testing. These first-in-human trials are designed to evaluate the safety, dosage, and pharmacokinetics of investigational drugs in a small group of healthy volunteers or patients. The insights gained at this stage are critical for determining whether a drug can progress to later phases.
Understanding the differences between Phase 1 vs. Phase 2 clinical trials is essential, as Phase 1 primarily focuses on safety and dosage, while Phase 2 assesses efficacy in a larger patient population. A well-structured Phase 1 clinical trial design can significantly impact the drug's success, minimizing risks and ensuring a seamless transition to the next phase. Partnering with an experienced Phase 1 clinical trial CRO ensures precise execution, compliance, and high-quality data collection, ultimately accelerating drug development.
A Phase 1 clinical trial is the first step in testing a new drug or treatment in humans. It typically involves 20–80 participants and aims to assess safety, tolerability, and dosage levels. There is monitoring on how the drug interacts with the body, its metabolism, and any potential side effects.
A first-in-human (FIH) clinical trial refers specifically to the very first administration of an investigational drug in human subjects, following extensive preclinical testing in in vitro and in vivo models. These trials are crucial for establishing an initial safety profile and understanding the drug’s pharmacokinetics before advancing to larger studies.
Given the inherent risks, first-in-human trials demand meticulous planning, expert oversight, and state-of-the-art clinical facilities to ensure participant safety and reliable data collection.
The success and safety of Phase I clinical trials depend on the expertise of skilled medical and scientific professionals who oversee every stage. Navitas Life Sciences offers end-to-end early-phase clinical trial solutions, ensuring robust study design, regulatory compliance, and real-time data insights. Our experienced teams specialize in first-in-human trials, dose escalation studies, and PK/PD assessments, leveraging advanced analytics for informed decision-making.
Our state-of-the-art clinical research facilities and global capabilities support the acceleration of drug development while prioritizing participant safety.
Oncology research is evolving rapidly, bringing new hope to patients worldwide. At Navitas Life Sciences, we are committed to advancing Phase 1 clinical trials, particularly First-in-Human (FIH) trials, to accelerate the development of groundbreaking therapies. Over the years, cancer treatment has shifted from conventional cytotoxic therapies to targeted therapies. Researchers have identified key growth factors, kinases, and transcription factors responsible for cancer cell proliferation, leading to new approaches in treatment. This transformation has set the stage for innovative Phase 1 clinical trial designs that prioritize patient safety and efficacy.
Investigator Meeting (IM) for our Phase 1 First-in-Human clinical trial in India
We recently hosted an Investigator Meeting (IM) for our Phase 1 First-in-Human clinical trial in India. This event brought together leading experts in oncology clinical research, facilitating crucial discussions on Phase 1 clinical trial design, protocols, and regulatory requirements. These conversations ensure that our study is well-structured, compliant, and capable of producing impactful results.
This Phase 1 trial is a critical first step in assessing the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and clinical activity of an innovative oncology therapy. India, with its diverse patient population and robust clinical trial infrastructure, provides an ideal setting for conducting First-in-Human clinical trials. By leveraging the region’s regulatory expertise and well-established clinical research networks, we can efficiently progress through early-phase clinical trials while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Four patients have already been enrolled in the trial
The Investigator Meeting was more than a strategic discussion; it was a powerful collaboration. Experts exchanged insights on regulatory strategy, patient recruitment, safety monitoring, and study execution, ensuring that all aspects of the Phase 1 clinical trial CRO process are optimized. This synergy strengthens our commitment to delivering new treatment options efficiently and safely.
First-in-Human trials represent the foundation of medical innovation. Our dedication to conducting efficient clinical trials, along with a strong focus on patient safety, early-stage oncology research, and data-driven decision-making, aid us in leading the way in Phase 1 clinical trials CRO solutions.
