Why is this important to know? It is illegal to promote drug uses that have not been proven through controlled trials, proven safe and effective for the use advertised (verbal or in writing), and the labeling/ promotion approved by the FDA.  The same is true during the clinical trial process.  You can not promote an investigational drug as safe or effective, since that is the purpose of the trial.

This is a great website for researching the latest cases and laws governing the protection of human research Subjects.  This firm has represented many injury and death cases involving research Subjects.  It always helps to be reminded of the Subjects that take risks to test investigational products and the eventual consumer that will be exposed to these products we audit and monitor.
