Bhopal gas victims used as guinea pigs for drug trials [1]

Pharmaceutical companies Quintiles and Sanofi have failed to follow norms while conducting clinical trials of their new drugs on Bhopal gas leak survivors, the health ministry informed the Supreme Court.

During hearings on alleged flouting of norms by pharmaceutical majors in conducting clinical trials on humans, the court had ordered the health ministry not to proceed with the clinical trials of 157 new drugs/formulations till a stricter regime was put in place.
