- FTP: 'We usually give one person a small dose. Then weeks later we give another volunteer an equally small dose,' she said. That precaution was clearly not enforced last week. Within minutes of the last volunteer getting his TGN1412, the first injected recruit had begun to complain of a severe headache, backache, fever and pain. He tore his shirt off and yelled he was burning. 'An Asian guy next to me started screaming and his breathing went haywire as though he was having a terrible panic attack,' said one of the volunteers, Raste Khan, who had been given a placebo. 'They put an oxygen mask on him but he kept tearing it off. He was shouting "Doctor, doctor, please help me!" He started convulsing, shouting that he was getting shooting pains in his back. People were fainting and coming back to consciousness. It was terrifying. I kept expecting it to happen to me at any moment. But I felt fine and didn't know why.'

- This is the worst case scenario that one dreams about regarding drug trials.

- From the page: "It was the stuff of nightmares. Six men volunteered for a clinical trial to test a new drug and within minutes were fighting for their lives. Robin McKie and Jo Revill report on the race to develop life-saving medicines ... and the grave risks that can be involved " Everything about this story reeks of greed, stupidity, and unethical behaviour. US Corp. Parexel should have its license suspended indefinitely in the EU for this gross negligence and misconduct. Found on http://merseypride.stumbleupon.com/ with thanks
