When someone says human drug trials, what do you picture?
The silent corridors of some high-tech, top-security lab where patients in white gowns are hooked up to every medical machine imaginable, and lie in wait for their doctors to adjust their dose?
I hope that’s not how you see clinical research, and to be honest, in reality it’s a little less Hollywood and a lot more boring…..well, most of the time.
In this video we discuss three instances where clinical trials went wrong, including:
– The “Elephant Man Trial” of Theralizumab / TGN-1412 in 20016
– The fatal BioTrial of an endocannabinoid-promoting drug in 2015
– The Thalidomide tragedy of the 1950s and 60s
Despite the less than desirable outcomes of the above trials, the industry has responded in a way that has lead to the robust and safe clinical trials system we have in place today.
