Participate at your Own Risk

A man, who took part in a drug trial developed early signs of cancer. He is seeking compensation from Parexel, the makers of the experimental drug. The drug trial made six healthy volunteers become seriously ill in March 2006, two of them almost died.

The experimental drug was aimed at treating chronic inflammatory conditions and leukaemia. During the trial the neck of one of the volunteers had swollen to three times its normal size. A girlfriend of one of the trial participants, said her boyfriend 'looks like Elephant Man'. According to her, his head had become wider than his waist.

The only question I have to these participants: haven't you guys known that there are many risks involved by being a "Guinea Pigs" in drug trials?
