THE British Government’s drug watchdog yesterday criticised the firm behind a disastrous drug trial which left six men seriously ill.

The Irish victim of a botched drugs trial in London last month has been told he may now lose his fingers and toes.

A 20-YEAR-OLD man who suffered serious side-effects in a drugs trial that went disastrously wrong says he will lose his fingers and toes.

A DRUG which left six men seriously ill when it was tested on humans for the first time caused temporary swelling in the glands of two monkeys during animal experiments, the firm behind the medication confirmed.
