Drugs trial goes horribly wrong

[stan_deezy]

This sounds very serious. Six healthy young men taking part in a drugs trial of a new anti-inflammatory drugs are in an intensive care unit with two listed as "critically ill".<br /><br />BBC are reporting the full story here. <br /><br />Hope they pull through and sympathies must be with the families and friends at the moment.

Experimental medication..... that should be a proper deterrent.

I can understand people taking part in a study that may help their own condition that other treaments have not worked for, but to just go be a lab rat for a couple bucks...<br /><br />For this bad of a reaction, were there no animals that had beeen tested on before, or did peta convince them it's better to kill humans?<br /><br />Those 2 that took plecebo.... they should go buy a lottery ticket.

Listened to a radio phone-in earlier and there were a lot of PETA-types saying that this is the way to go <br /><br />Hmmm, obviously not their sons involved is all I can reckon

Maybe all the PETA folks shoud sign up for this to help save the animals.

A new PETA medical research division... heck even I'd donate to that

Re: Drugs trial goes horribly wrong

good point... if these were peta people that volunteered for the testing, then I'm all for it.

Re: Drugs trial goes horribly wrong

There are quite a few Peta people who do volunteer for this sort of stuff.

Sad story....Taking part in a drug study when you are not afflicted with what the drug is trying to cure is obviously not the brightest move....<br />Animal testing is not always 100% effective either.....<br />My ex was in the drug reasearch biz....<br />There are some real horror stories out there....JK

Re: Drugs trial goes horribly wrong

i don't know what the rules are about drug testing overseas but the FDA has very stringent rules here. drugs are thoroughly evaluated before ever getting close to a person. from what i can remember, human trials are phase 3 of the testing process. obviously, the first 2 phases should eliminate any questions about human use. that does not mean there can't be problems with dosages or manufacturing.<br /><br />i participated in some studies when i was in college, it paid great.<br /><br />as stupid as you say it may be, healthy people are tested before sick people get it. so, anyone needing medication needed someone healthy to test it first. i guess we could test stuff on the military like the good old days.
