Ans:

Phase 1 trials try to determine dosing, document how a drug is metabolized and excreted, and identify its side effects. A few number of healthy volunteers are used in Phase 1 trials.

The eligible and agreed participants are given specific instructions, and then monitored and carefully assessed during the trial and after it is completed.
