networks
Phase I units
Coordinated network of GCP-compliant units for phase I clinical trials and first-in-human studies in the Czech Republic.
Coordinated infrastructure for early clinical trials
Phase I Units Network is a coordinated network of GCP-compatible phase I units operating at the Masaryk Cancer Institute, St. Anne’s Hospital in Brno, University Hospital Brno, University Hospital Ostrava and Thomayer Hospital.
The network enables Phase I clinical trials, including first-in-human studies, in both healthy volunteers and cancer patients. All activities are conducted in accordance with applicable legislation, ethical standards and Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

National Register of Clinical Research Volunteers
The activities of the Phase I Units network also include support for the registration of volunteers for clinical research through the international digital platform Volunteer Registry (v-reg), created within the European project VACCELERATE.
This platform enables the safe and ethically managed registration of people interested in participating in clinical trials, including early phase studies.
How people can get involved in clinical research
Clinical trials are a key part of the development of new medicines, therapies and diagnostic procedures. They allow us to verify their safety and efficacy and contribute to improving healthcare.
Participation in the study is always voluntary and is supervised by a medical professional. Those interested in clinical research can participate through safe and ethically approved mechanisms that link volunteers with research teams.
One of these tools is the international Volunteer Registry (v-reg), which facilitates information on suitable clinical trials.
Voluntary participation
Registering or being approached for a study does not commit you to anything.
Ethical supervision
The platform operates in accordance with the ethical and legal requirements of clinical research.
Personal data protection
The data provided is not passed on to third parties.
For different groups of participants
The register is intended for adults and minors (through their legal guardians).
