The primary aim of phase I trials is to establish safety profiles. Patients with advanced cancer, without standard treatment options, may struggle to decide whether to engage in a treatment with unknown efficacy, benefit, and side effects, or to opt for symptom-oriented palliative care. In this thesis, both medical outcomes of phase I clinical trials, as well as research towards patients‘ perspectives are presented.
