I was on the internet today researching a young man who died in a

citalopram/cipramil trial in India. His name was Dharmesh Vasava and he was 22.

He was first reported to be in hospital with pneumonia and on humanitarian

grounds, the company paid for his treatment. He died a few days later! 

According to another participant of the same trial, the subjects were lured with

money by agents working for the company. Needless to say, such exploitative

inducements are both unethical and illegal.

Drug trials are going on all over the world but there seems to be a sinister

trend with the amount of drug companies doing trials on the poor people of

India, with the quality of these trials in some cases questionable at best.

These trials have been sponsored by the big players (among others), Lundbeck,

& , Pfizer, Novo Nordisk, GlaxoKline, Novartis, Bayer,

Merck, Sanofi Aventis and Roche.

The Business Standard reported that there were 671 deaths logged last year in

drug trials in India and there is evidence that compensation was only given

in 3 cases.Link. There have been questions raised about the data quality in

some of these trials along with problems with corruption and scams, and

presumably the same data that drug companies are using to get approval for the

same drugs from the fda, the ema, the mhra and the Irish Medicines Board!

In one Indian hospital alone 49 babies died involving drug testing. Link 

How is this going on in 2011? India is only half way from here to Australia, not

a different planet!! Are Indian babies not worth as much as Irish babies???? Do

the Irish government know when they are wining, dining and greeting these drug

company executives off planes, that they are killing people across the globe?
