Pharmaceutical companies as well as other research laboratories are regularly developing new drugs for treatment of symptoms and diseases. At some later stage of the drug development it is necessary to determine in human subjects whether the new drug is effective for treatment. This requires a study called a clinical drug trial and will require patients who have the symptoms or disease to be the subjects of the trial. The goal of the trial is to determine if the new drug has some beneficial effect over no drug and if so is the new drug equal to or superior to an established drug for the condition. A scientist who is not involved making a conclusion of the results is aware of the randomization and can stop the study for a patient who is having a reaction or for a group that may be harmed.

idea posted by Deepak Kumar Singh General Practitioner, Apollo Group
I would enter a randomized clinical trial if I thought that the drug or procedure might benefit me. I would accept the risk of receiving placebo or no treatment since the benefit of if the new drug or treatment is not yet established, It is not immoral to use clinical trials if the benefit of a new treatment is not established because there is no more effective way to establish the effectiveness or lack thereof of an new drug or treatment than a randomized double blinded trial, We cannot simply assume that any new drug or treatment is effective or that because a group of patients does better than previous patients it is the effect of a new treatment.
