TGN1412 Drug Trial Participants Recovering
Amazingly, all of the young men stricken down by the TGN1412 drug trial fiasco are now conscious and apparently on the road to recovery.
Britain’s The Register reports:
All of the volunteers given an experimental immune drug in a London trial have now made it off the critical list at Northwick Park hospital.
The last of six men given biotech firm TeGenero’s TGN1412 compound is now fully conscious and looks set to make a full recovery.
…Meanwhile, Raste Khan, 23, one of the men given a harmless placebo, appeared in The Sun today, saying he was still traumatised by what he saw during the trials. “I still feel haunted by it and I know my family have been extremely upset. I am too frightened even to get sleeping pills from the doctor.”
He claims test contractor Parexel is demanding he honour the terms of his contract by attending follow-ups in order to pocket his £2,000 volunteer fee.
Testing contractor Parexel was unavailable for comment.
