[Legal liability in drug trials]

Studies on humans are carried out in all nations with scientific trials. These studies are concerned with all kinds of goals, i.e. pharmacological treatment procedures. This necessitates clinical and pharmaceutical testing on healthy volunteers or patients. Lawyers watch over the activities of the clinical drug testing. The participation on human tests requires voluntariness and information. The documentation of the voluntariness and the information about goals, methods, and risks are very important.
