Phase I trials are generally conducted in healthy participants or in patients with no treatment options such as oncology patients. Unlike late phase trials, Phase I (also known as early phase) studies have different patient recruitment challenges. To learn more, I invited Dr. Graham Wood, Executive Vice President, USA at Nucleus Network. Dr. Wood is a leader in the conduct and design of clinical pharmacology studies having held senior executive roles in a number of the top clinical research sites in the world. In total, he has over 22 years of experience and has been involved with more than 200 first-in-human studies as well as over 2,000 studies across all areas of clinical pharmacology. After finishing his PhD in Neurology and Neurosurgery, Graham worked at MDS Pharma Services, Cetero Research, Manna Research and Altasciences as well as spending two years working at biotechnology companies. * This podcast is brought to you by Slope. Slope provides an online eClinical Supply Chain Management (eCSCM) platform for sponsors and research sites collaborating on complex, sample-intensive, early-stage clinical trials. The Slope eCSCM platform reduces clinical trial risks, reigns in costs, improves the productivity of clinical trial collaborators, and increases subject retention by moving the manual, spreadsheet-driven, and error-prone processes used to manage and track clinical supplies and biological samples to a digital platform.  To learn more, visit slope.io and ask to speak with a solutions coordinator today.  *
