Summary— The organisation of a phase I unit must take into account the safety, quality and scientific requirements of such studies. The clinical pharmacology unit demands a highly qualified staff, as well as intensive care equipment. The investigator, generally a clinical pharmacologist who coordinates the different tasks as a project leader, has often to initiate a fruitful collaboration with a specialised consultant staff in order to implement the studies.
