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.

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/
