Abstract:
The most important item in clinical trials is the informed consent. Information of the patient/subject has to be provided in a clear, for medically not educated people understandable language. Consent has to be given voluntarily and not under duress. The Ethic Committees should--among other things--fulfill the following requirements: Review of the written information sheets, checking of the benefit/risk profile (placebo control group?) and--in the future--perhaps to insist to make the results of the study available to the public.
