Not really true. Phase 1 (safety and tolerance) trials will be done by any old berk. And I've entered trials because yay, science, even if I have a disease that's treatable by an existing clunky method.
Oncology phase 1 trials are made on cancer patients only, so no, your statement is not 100% correct.
Plus, phase I trials are really limited in size, so they are meaningless versus the total population of people who go on clinical trials for phase 2 and 3 - and these are patients always.
