>Phase I trials were formerly referred to as “first-in-man studies” but the field generally moved to the gender-neutral language phrase "first-in-humans" in the 1990s;[5] these trials are the first stage of testing in human subjects.[6] They are designed to test the safety, side effects, best dose, and formulation method for the drug.[7] Phase I trials are not randomized, and thus are vulnerable to selection bias.[8]
