For What Reasons Would You as a Patient Enter a Randomized Clinical Drug Trial? The only reason would be if that’s the only I could be cured of my disease. In this matter though I wouldn’t consider it, because Randomized clinical drug trials can be dangerous although those who get the placebo don’t have anything happen to them those that don’t get the placebo the other half of the people testing the new medication. Will face either bad or good effects from the drug, but most likely there will be some bad side effects such as vomiting pancreas, liver damage etc.
In a site I used it states, that “Trials include more participants (about 100-300) who have the disease or condition that the product potentially could treat. Researchers seek to gather further safety data and preliminary evidence of the drug's beneficial effects (efficacy), and they develop and refine research methods for future trials with this drug.” ("Inside clinical trials:," 2011). Through this statement I have found myself surely against randomized clinical drug trials. Why should hundreds of people have to suffer through the horrible effects just to find a cure. Although I know if they do find the cure it will impact the lives of many, and cure them, but still all of those people having their lives on hand for tests for others. I just don’t think I could risk my life in this case to help attempt to find the cure of a disease.
