France clinical trial: 1 person brain-dead & 5 in hospital after drug testing "accident"
One person has been left “brain-dead” and five more have been hospitalised after a clinical trial on a cannabis-based drug went wrong in France. The health ministry said the “serious accident” happened on Thursday, stopping the tests and forcing all volunteers to be recalled. A statement released today did not confirm the name of the drug being tested but French media reports claimed it was a new cannabis-based painkiller.
