How do clinical drug trials work?

What are the exact stages?
Thanks

they throw something on the stoop, and see if the cat licks it up...here kitty...
After long term testing on innocent, cuddly animals, like the ones in Pooh's corner, they then dredge the sewers of london, searching for likely candidates for their noble, albeit, gruesome experiments.
here you come; couch louse, no job, cheeto junky, with no money..the question is; how much would i have to pay you to swallow this? answer; about $100 bucks.
they make a show of checking your physical health,..ha ha..like anyone with sound mind and body would volunteer to take something that would--but that's it, isnt' it..we dont know what it will do to you yet, do we..?
after you sign some papers of some sort, usually some blurb about next of kin blah blah blah...then they give you a big donut to celebrate...and a nice warm cup of coffee to wash down that really dry donut .......
you wake up in a room, not more than a cell..pure white walls, floor and ceiling. there is bright, almost glaring light everywhere, but you don't see the source..there is a steady hum, and a sense that you're moving, but you later realize that's the cofffee....
A former playboy bunny in a nurse's outfit comes in the room, smiling... on a silver platter she's carrying, you notice three syringes, three vials of liquid, and a pleated paper cup with four little white pills...
she walks over to you, speaking..well, her lips are moving, but you can't make out what she's saying...her mouth, so soft, so moist, so red, her lips moving with such rythym...if you didn't know better, you'd think you were looking right between her.....
and the table she put the silver platter on is a small button on the floor...she puts the toe of her white patent leather stillettoes on the button and pushes down slightly...and suddenly , a whole new world opens up for you...

thanks for your time and for the points, but for me, no effort was involved. i wrote the first thing off the top of my head...clinical drug trials don't work. the one guy that can't sue zoloft makers is the guy who took the trial doses of it..in court they could argue he knowingly committed murder Report Abuse

Sometimes their supplements for getting rid of certains pains or problems like Morphine
