Dear members,

As you know, clinical trials are an important step in the development of new treatments, or in the improvement of the existing ones.

I think that some of you have already participated in clinical trials, and can share your experience:

- what type of clinical trial was it and for what condition?

- what medication/treatment was it for?

- what were the conditions to enter the clinical trial?

- how long did it last and what were you supposed to do?

- what were the results?

If you have never entered a clinical trial, would you be willing to do it? If not, why not?

For those who are interested in the current clinical trials and/or would like to take part in one, here is the link to the clinical trials website in the UK: https://www.ukctg.nihr.ac.uk/

I think I am probably one of only few survivors of a very early clinical trial. My family lived in the East End of London where there was a Polio epidemic.   I was very very young and my Father decided to take the risk with his only son to be part of the very early Polio vaccine trials using a 'live' virus .  Many years later I knew many people of my own age ( survivors) that had to wear leg irons.

Hi, I’ve never taken part in a clinical trial before so it’s all new and interesting to me.
