It’s truly strange watching British documentaries as an American. American documentaries are so loud with constant motion and nonstop drama. I appreciate watching something that takes its time to tell the story without the need for embellishment.
It isn't that it's British. They just didn't really need to be flashy because of the content... People fighting for their lives... pretty hardcore as is
two people recieve something completely else while the others recieve the drugs. But no one knows who got what but the doctor/nurse. i believe its explained in the beginning of the video.
I have been receiving a type of monoclonal antibody infusion every 4 weeks for the last 10 years to treat an autoimmune disease. This medication saved my life and allows me to continue surviving. The people who are willing to submit themselves to clinical trials like this are part of the reason I’m still alive, and I have so much respect for them.
My son has a number of symptoms that are autoimmune in nature rendering him at 35 unable to work and using a cane but some days unable to leave the bed. He has been given possible bur never firm diagnosis for everything from MS to Parkinsons to Meneirs to heavy metal intoxication as he shows signs of all. One of the neurologists who seemed most hopeful finding neuropathy and all the signs of his own immune system attacking his digestive and nervous systoms suggested a drug to him which was described as a chemo drug originally for cancer patients but has shown to aid patients such as he. God i wish we coyld speak to you to somehow find out if you have a similar set of issues. If so much comfort it would be while making this very important and heart wrenching decision
I also have an autoimmune disease. I am taking Telfast and Montelukast daily. If I stop, my throat gets tight and itches all over the body. I live with misery and doctors couldn't help me.
Maybe try prolonged water only fast around 10 days? Prolonged fast is the only thing that treats and cure autoimmune diseases. And then carnivore diet.
Be careful those drugs have severe side effects effects that allow doctors,to get away killing off whistleblowers later in off that k ow they were forced into fling along or being blamed for o get away with committing atrocities against ,minorities to suffer the same cover up by I forced treatment t and th. Blaming them and for them to to get away with to b blamed and killing them by and forcing me to do Nyerere I to palletive care to cover it up
Please help me thy are blaming me for to cover up their crimes and allow the government to,ent to blame these please people to comply and now I know they are killing off these to people and blame them for instead of rich people,to get away to comply and are know and forcing me into end of life care
For those of you making fun of the doctor for asking if they're okay, it's actually a very good practice. First of all, he's making sure they're still responsive. Second of all, he's trying to keep them calm. If you saw someone crack their skull open, you wouldn't start shouting "OMG ARE YOU OKAY!? OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA DIE THAT'S A LOT OF BLOOD" no, you'd say "It's going to be okay, you'll be fine." Just so you know
Raven Ryder I don’t know why Parexel claimed to have no knowledge of their responses, but the pharma doctor read in the literature supplied by Parexel that their reactions were thought to happen rarely.
I had a science teacher start our origins, universe life etc with: don’t believe everything they tell you, remember many think a supreme being, god, caused creation, others do not... in any case we don’t know how or why the universe came into being let alone having physics perfect for star formation, nuclear reactions, time, matter, all of it. That said... shall we begin.... first there was nothing, then there was a universe... any questions? Right... ok.. and we opened our books to chapter one. The Big Bang. Haha and the lesson commenced. I thought he was clever and wise and he was a great teacher. He also gave us real experiments, not cheesy ones. More dangerous chemicals and dissection, less baking soda and vinegar. Haha... break out the scalpels and Bunson burners baby.. whoops. Bang. Teacher my test tube is no more! You ok? Yeah. Had your eye wear on? Yeah. Ok... do it again but this time don’t skip step three in the directions... sorry Mr. Moss. Haha he was cool.
@@nanofivee I think they mean that we have lived through how the world reacted to co.v.id. Nothing will suprise me anylonger when it comes to butched up medical treatment after that.
StrawberryNinja Nibbles omg you’re right. Without thinking about it, I unconsciously found myself thinking, how did they have video of these people when it was happening Lolol duh
I noticed they never talked about the eighth man, I looked him up and he’s wheel chair bound and had his fingertips fall off too. How unfortunate for all of them.
'Berto O. A. you never know if another person will react the same way to the medication if only one person got the trial. that’s why there’s usually more than one person getting tested
He can still drive. My mother had crippling arthritis, and could not hold the steering wheel, just guide it with her palms, and turned with her elbows. He only lost the tips. Not the whole fingers. Yes, it is a tragedy he suffered. So did my mother. She still made do. Reiterate, he CAN still drive.
While nobody deserves the outcome of this particular medical trial, it’s an incredibly brave and selfless act to anyone who needs medicine and even to the lives that are forced into trials like animals. It’s scary but to think of all of the lives and families this event has saved. I’m so sorry to everyone involved but the gratitude I have for such people is incredible.
Imagine being one of the ones that got the medicine and being right behind the guy showing the first symptoms. That would be terrifying. He starts screaming and you have to wait until it happens to you. Talk about a horror movie.
@@ryanblack3285 apart of the 2k, you would get in a lot of legal trouble, you signed a contract. also by the time the first severe symtphoms showed up, the drug was already administered on everybody.
You believe this? They gave clinical trial medication, as a test...to humans with nothing to actually cure.. it was meant to cure leukemia....which these random people did not have
The worst part was how quickly they dosed everyone. They first guy is in a cold sweat and writhing in pain, and while this is going on they are dosing the guys in the other room.
Julian Bell Mark R what was this drug trial for ? what the heck was the drug trial for because all those people were 100% healthy and had nothing to cure , So do you think , is it really a cure they were looking for or is it a way to make people sick to cut down the population , the government plan ?
Kristie-lee Corney This isn’t a conspiracy video. If the government wanted to cut down on the population they wouldn’t have tested the drug, they would have given it to the patient so they could die.
Well then, they now should be advocates for banning all animal testing since they know the horrors.. but they had it WAAAY better than the animals that are still being tortured
Shame on drug company. One guys fingers and toes fell off. They infused 8 x faster than on monkeys. These people deserve big compensation and massive apology
Big pharma doing big pharma things, and hiding behind obscure legal loopholes and endless legal battles to do whatever tf they want. It's a way too big of a business, in the hands of way too few people. They're artificially creating a lack of ADHD medication so they can jack up the prices. They claimed oxycodone is barely addictive and can be prescribed for even minor pain and injuries. They said Xanax and Lyrica are perfect risk-free options for generalized anxiety disorder. They constantly make vitally important things like epipens and insulin more expensive. They also try to invent medicine for the symptoms rather than cures. And isn't it also kinda convenient how often you need to take booster shots for this new kind of vaccine? I know it's basically a business and they need to profit, but they're building their empire on human suffering and dead bodies. The amount of greed is just overwhelming.
I was in labor with my first baby and the pain was absolutely horrible. My husband said that I tried to get out of bed and leave. I truly believed that if I could just leave the room that I would be pain free.
I tried this too. 😂 Funny now but at the time I was in so much pain and I was so scared. I told my husband I just needed to get out of the room and out of the hospital then I'd be ok. He was compassionate but also amused and said something like "but what about the baby? If you leave you still have to give birth." 😂 I don't know, man.
This is the second time I watched this video, what a horrific trial these wonderful men went through, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia at age 10 with other complications. Without brave people like these, my daughter would not be a alive today. This Was back in 2001. My sarah is doing well today. My only child. I owe it to brave people like the ones in this document. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Mike, from Richmond, Virginia
That's great. But everyone that I know that had leukemia and was treated for it , died. They spent years of their life receiving agonizing treatment that was meant to save them, costing thousands. They would be in remission, like they were cured, then it returned, only to kill them quickly, since their immune system was gone. RIP: Aunt Marty, Steele, Carmen.
@@lorinagosso While that is the norm, there are a few exceptions. Perhaps her young age aided her recovery. Then again they say 25% of cancers get cured all by itself (not sure if it applies to leukemia though), but I guess most don't wanna play with those odds and go for the chemo route, despite it perhaps only buying them more time and only making their early death even more likely.
@@lorinagosso leukemia in a certain group age and the type of leukemia the person has determines the rates of their survival. Simply put the older you are the deadlier it gets, children have higher survival rates and longer remission. Sorry for your loss though, seeing a loved one succumb to illness makes you feel hopeless and it's a wound that never heals even after they pass.
To those who are interested, the reason was finally found. Fair warning: I'm neither a chemist nor a physician, so I cannot guarantee I summed it up correctly. Also, before you jump to any conclusion or think "It sounds obvious that it was bound to go wrong", I suggest looking into the reports on your own, to understand the complexity of in vivo chemistry. TGN1412 was designed to bind to the CD28 antigen of T lymphocyte cells. Those T lymphocyte come in two sub-types: "Regulatory T cells", and "Memory T cells". TGN1412 was designed/intended to stimulate the Regulatory T cells, which are the same in humans as in the monkeys. However, the Memory T cells have that CD28 antigen as well for humans, but not in the monkeys. And those cells started to emit a high amount of cytokines when activated by TGN1412. This widespread sudden and overpaced emission of cytokines is what is called cytokine storm, and the cytokines attack and kill cells. This is what is called and happens in an inflammation. In a normal functioning immune system, this should happen in direct proximity of an infected cell to kill that cell (and only a few others as collateral damage, which are easily replaced in a healthy person). But here it happened in the whole body at once, basically attacking all cells everywhere at the same time.
And isn't it ironic that the covid virus that's going around now does the same exact thing in some people, causes a cytokine storm? The monocolona antibodies since then has been perfected and is currently being used in people with covid-19 successfully. The drug is known as regeneron.
Now they use 0.1% less of the drug at 40 times slower rate of infusion then they did in that trial. So basically it was a bad calculation on their part.
Most of the medical trials that I've looked into ask for a commitment of 2-3 years, and specify that the patient can withdraw at any point. I've never looked into a First in Man study (now I understand that as a female, I don't generally qualify for that), though I do understand how vital that step is. Now I understand a bit better!
@@wendychavez5348actually we can now. I was in a phase 1 trial. Its for a medicine for specific heart disorder. Although I'm healthy now, I've had quite an extensive heart history. Its like being a ticking time bomb with no way of stopping it. This opportunity came about and I was all for it. Its a double blind study. Couldn't get my blood work for my syndrome until 6 months after I was done with the trial. My number actually was decreased. I know I got the drug and it works. Cannot wait until phase 2. Hoping it will be at the same hospital so I can take part.
Necrosis is the term for Dying tissue. This is why I think this was blood poisoning. Necrosis can occur when the blood isn't healthy enough to provide the flesh nutrition, and the cells in the tissue die.
@AL Cats They absolutely would have. It's the American way. Oh and when you write a sentence calling people stupid, make sure it isn't two sentences crammed into one.
m3m3d_ I felt real sorry for him . He was just siting there and every one else was reacting to it. He was probably thinking that he was going to get it soon
the 2 (one in each room) who got the placebo will definately have long term mental issues from what they saw and heard..I hope they both got some great counseling...crap like that can mess your head up for life.
I watched this when it first came out 6 yrs ago and let me tell you that i have never forgotten about it. It's truly haunting to think about what they went through.
I cant imagine being one of the people with the placebo... just watching and listening to everythung around you, always wondering if youre next and when its going to happen. It sounds so terrifying...
Nah. after they were the onlyone in the room it didn't happen to, Im guessing they figured out they had the placebo. But the first hour or so would've been rough, yea.
I heard about this at the time it happened and then decided the same. Your life and health isn't worth playing Russian roulette with. Even if nothing like this happens to you, you don't know what unknown long term effects might be caused.
@Poppy Mystique I'm in a study right now in the states at a place called PRA Health Sciences in Lenexa, Kansas City, Kansas My study right now is 5 days for $3,000 us
I had considered cosmetic trials, but after this there is no amount of money in the world that could make me want to participate. Just to risky for me.
The saddest patient death I've ever dealt with was a man who had an unexpected allergic reaction to a psoriasis medication we were testing. He was a healthy guy in his early 50s. No one had any reason to believe he wouldn't be going home to his family the next day with some Christmas shopping money in his pocket. It was really a huge shock to everyone, especially his wife and kids.
That is something you should understand taking any drug, isn't it? Let alone the one that was never tested on humans, no one knows whether it is safe and that's exactly the risk they are paid for.. If it was safe (and none of the drugs are just cause of the personal reactions anyway) there wouldn't be a need in testing it..
The people are lured by money like the 50 years old man that sadly lost his life. When you are 50 YO with family of your own, it’s not advised to take a trial test. Unfortunately he probably needed the money.
@@sunandmoon139 That's not actually what it is. It's when a person experiences a decrease in symptom severity, because they believe they are receiving medication. The placebo effect does not cure illnesses, it just helps to relieve symptoms.
@@sunandmoon139 It has to do with believing that you are receiving a treatment that will make you feel better. I reccomend that you look up some examples and/or articles about it on google, as it's actually quite fascinating. There is also the nocebo effect, which is when a person believes a treatment will have negative side effects, so they end up experiencing those side effects simply because they expected to experience them. There have been trials done where one group of people is give sugar pills (though the trial participants were told it was real medication) and were not warned of any potential side effects, while the second group received the same placebo pills, but were told a list of potential side effects they might experience. The people in the second group reported experiencing those side effects at a much higher rate than people in the first group. By believing they might feel unwell, the trial participants actually caused themselves to feel sick. It really goes to show how much your mindset can effect you. This even manifests psychologically as well. For example, if you believe that you won't ever succeed, chances are you will have a lessened ability to perform tasks, low motivation, and little dedication. One of the biggest effects would be that you stop trying, and that you never actually put 100% into something. I mean, why bother putting your all into something if you are sure you will fail?? Alternatively, if you believe that you could be very successful, you would likely take way more opportunities, work harder and put more effort into things, have high motivation, and be very dedicated. These changes in behaivor have a serious effect on your life, and could actually cause someone to fail at things simply because they are convinced they aren't capable of succeeding. This is called fortune telling in psychology, if I remember correctly. I'm very guilty of doing this myself, actually. It's harder than it sounds to let go of all the negative beliefs one has about themselves and start believing in themselves all of the sudden. It's really hard, and at this point I actually fortune tell about fortune telling. I know that I do it a lot, so I end up doing it even more simply because I expect myself to. It's maddening 😂😭
@@sunandmoon139 it has nothing to do with religion if that's what you're asking, although those words can be used in a spiritual context. if that's not what you meant ignore me haha
UA-cam, I don’t think an add for a drug trial study is the best thing to run during this video. Like seriously, I don’t think people will want to take part in a study after watching this.
I was one of the early people treated with skin grafts. I had 3rd and 2nd degree burns when i was little. Now I have no scars. I appreciate the human test subjects for what they have helped achieve.
@@nathanh2917 I met a group of children who had received grafts in the 60s. The grafts were done with full thickness host skin so they were very bulky compared to today's grafts. Huge thanks to all the pioneers!
@@duck3819 That is very accurate. My quack of an orthopedist gave me an unnecessary MRI, over my ankle being swollen and having pronation. It found bone bruising, JUST BONE BRUISING. It was a waste of 2hrs and $900
Considering he has sadly passed, I think this was the least of his problems. This entire trial was absolutely horrifically botched, whether by accident, on purpose, the medication simply didn’t work or otherwise
@@JoyfulNerd400 what is the source? My most recent found are articles of 2021, and all of them do not mention a death of Ryan, "just" his amputations and the unforeseen health problems in the future of all participants.
I am fairly sure they all survived, though someone can correct me if I’m wrong. More likely, they couldn’t get in contact with the others, or they weren’t interested.
I found this a very interesting article. My granddaughter had a rare cancer at the age of 2 and ALL of her treatment was through international clinical trials. Part of her treatment was immunotherapy, where one of the risks was a cytokine storm because of the use of monoclonal antibodies. After nearly four years of treatment she is now five years in remission. The harsh treatments she had have left her with a variety of health problems, but she is a happy 10 year old now and very precious to our family. Whilst she has contributed to many clinical trials through her treatments, we are indebted to the children who have gone before her and may have since died of the illness or the treatment. Anyone who contributes to the advance of medicine through participating in clinical trials (of whatever stage) is making a massive contribution to the rest of humanity.
Amen. I agree. And with any trials, all precautions should be taken, and there should ALWAYS be an ESTABLISHED anecdotal plan in case of known, and especially unknown, side affects.
@@pamsam8933 the problem is that you can't know the side effects to 100% certainty in advance. You can inject them into mice and monkeys and test on human cells and determine it "might" be safe. When you are the one taking a drug that no human has taken before, nobody can predict with certainty what is going to happen, it's a big risk and they should (and almost always do) tell you that it is a risk.
The reason things like this are big stories is because of how rare events like this are. The vast, vast majority of first for human clinical trials have the worst problem of people withdrawing due to side effects. This occurs in both the cohort getting the drug and the cohort getting placebo. Multiple fatalities in a single trial is so unusual as to lead to videos like this. The risk is higher in rare illness, where there just fundamentally isn't as much data in. Even then, like in this case, actual death is exceptionally rare.
Totally irrelevant, but the dramatization of this event was first class. As a cancer survivor, I am so grateful to anyone who participates in trials. Including the medical staff who take part. I am sorry that these men went through this horrific experience and I am grateful that, despite the dire consequences, new protocols relating to trials have been adopted. Seeing David with his young family was a huge relief ❤️
My twin sister nearly died from Covid. The dramatization in this show is similar to what she went through. People next to her who did not make it were wheeled away. She said it was the worst experience of her life. Thank God she survived.
There's not enough money to be made giving you a cancer wonder drug. Probably been around hidden for years. Pharmaceutical is a business. It's all about money not your good health.
can we just give these men a round of appaluse for what they have endured that must have been really traumatising especially the guy that lost his fingers and had his foot amputated
@@williamarmstrong1017 I assure you, they would not go if they would be well informed. And what they do now with vaccine is pretty much the same! And they not have to pay for it.
The major issue was the drug being administered to every man within minutes of one another instead of adopting a wait and see approach, which you think would be standard initially in a first in man trial. Side note: David’s family is beautiful! So happy to see that.
While that's clearly the case, it seems they still have done everything according to protocol, haven't they? At least they say that in the documentary, so it may not have been standard at the time?
@@juditmlnr you would think it’d be common sense though. A drug that’s never been given to humans before and they’re rapidly dosing everyone before any side effects are able to take effect. Live and learn, I guess. I’m just glad it wasn’t at the expense of someone’s life.
@@juditmlnrI mean technically, yes, they did everything according to protocol - but the protocol is largely determined by the entity running the trial following some standard guidelines and requirements. personally, I think the biggest problem is that this kind of reaction should not have been so unforeseen (they even acknowledged cytokine storm as a possible side effect beforehand) that they didn’t prepare for it to happen in a first-in-human trial.
I'm a multiple organ transplant recipient, and on roughly a dozen medications, several of which are beyond critical to continued survival. This reminds us just how important clinical trials are, and to appreciate the sacrifice and risks those people took, to pave the way for better health and lives for all mankind. Thank you.
Here here! It's an enormous risk to participate in these trials. I've been tempted to do so for the $$$ but the thought of what *could* go wrong had held me back. You know how commercials list all those crazy side effects like diarrhea and death? That's because someone experienced that.
Tbh, it is the drug company responsible, not the doctor... Idk why everyone is blaming him. He had a job, he tried his best... I'm so sorry to the men that you had to experience that
I honestly think no one is responsible.they've tested it on mice and the mice did not show any of the probants symptoms. They also warn you and hand you a contract where they warn you that there might be some serious long term complications while testing the drug. Sure I wouldn't hope anyone was in their position and this was a very dangerous situation, however the probants knew that there might be serious complications. So in this case, no one is to blame and those who went running to their lawyer are nothing but morrons from my point of view.
@@phasorthunder1157 TBH, the speed of the injection likely had little overall change on the drastic effects. The severe reaction in people probably came from the differences in T cells between mice and humans, which was newer knowledge at the time.
I'm a former nurse and i remember hearing about this at the time. As i remember it they essentially gave all the patients the drug basically ask at once
@@imho2278no they mean the preparation was too speedily injected AND to all subjects essentially at the same time. Both are non testing- protocol bonehead moves. Amateur hour. I don't see ice packets on the beds, nor any mention, there weren't enough dialysis machines, no blood work done to rule out infection before providing immunosuppressive drugs, just a festival of silly.
This is astounding. I'm 24 years in remission from Leukaemia and two years of gruelling chemotherapy treatment I endured from 16 - 18. I imagine at some point each one of the toxins in the specific chemo cocktail I received were one trialled by participants equally as brave as these hero's. And I can say I wouldn't have envied what they put themselves through in doing so either! But I'm beyond grateful they did! Even given the long term ramifications I'll be dealing with from here on in, I wouldn't forsake that for the experience I had knowing what it is to be in love and the pure joy I eventually experienced in giving birth to two gorgeous and extremely precious daughters.
It's crazy when you think about the fact that healthy people took chemotherapy drugs first to see if it was safe. Knowingly taking the equivalent of a bomb going off in your system since it'll destroy everything in sight is wild
Success stories like you are exactly why I work in research. Every single cancer therapy and Alzheimer’s drug trial I hope not so see any observations or toxicity. It is always very sad when something doesn’t work as intended.
Can we take a moment and acknowledge how horrible it is that we must subject animals (macaques in this case) routinely to these horrible experiments, and after a life of horrendous isolation and suffering, these animals are simply discarded like garbage.
The 2 receivers of the placebo are in my opinion entitled to damages as well, as are the staff who all were undoubtedly traumatized by witnessing this dreadful horror.
@@SaraWOanH Where does it say in the contract "risk of death"? Do you work in this field?. They would never get people by stating that fact. They Will Say it may cause side effects (like organ failure) but not death. I do see what you are saying but they picked strong healthy young men. Emphasizing death is not a priority. Also... I would never do it. My friend fell fast after being talked into a trial cancer drug by her doctor friend....sad scary and I'm not built for it. My nerves and worry are too bad...😆
The old nurses knew. They've seen all sort of things. That's why they tend not last too long in the profession, and thus are all the time replaced by younger better indoctrinated by big pharma teachers ones.
They were in part responsible. They rushed the injections from how it was explained. The first man was showing bad reactions before the last couple were even injected.
It is a nurse's responsibility to advocate for their patient, they can in fact, intercept prescriptions, and refuse orders as long as it's in the best interest of the patient.
This is why I'm open to being involved in clinical trials! I have these conditions, and am interested in improving the care that other people with them can obtain. Like Subject #1, I understand that it's important to report anything even slightly out of the ordinary because information is vital! I wish these men hadn't suffered like this, and thank them for their sacrifice.
This is one of my favourite documentaries. That doctor was pissing his pants no doubt. In the USA they'd be sued to the moon and back no matter what they signed.
Absolutely not..... that's an very dumb stereotype and also makes no sense considering that the pharma industry obviously have to how tk protect themselves from lawsuits. Since side effects are essential while testing....
I didn't have this drug, but I had a different monoclonal antibody - rituximab - and it saved my life. I had stage 4 cancer at 17 (actually, lymphoma, like was brought up in this documentary) and thiys documentary just made me feel so thankful to all of these men. Their positivity and outlooks are wonderful, too.
@@goha9218 im doing great now i do have higher risk for cancer later in life and i had a few side effect from radiation like lack of hair, stunted growth on my left side, and a few more but im fine for the most part
Right. When he talked about the headache coming in WAVES, building and ebbing. Like birthing pains in the head. That started to make me anxious. I'm at 15:33 and had to pause for a minute.
I mean this is why we test drugs before mass distribution and why we test on animals. While yes it may be immoral to test on animals this video's content would become more common without testing on animals. It's good they went through and prevented this drug from hitting the market because it could have done way worse had it not been tested.
I knew a guy in our 20s who signed up for clinical drug trials all the time for cash - never did anything else for a living. He also never wore anything but pajamas and flip flops.
I know the guys in this trial regret doing it, but I just want to tell them thank you. Because as much as that sucked they saved so many lives. Think of the consequences if this had gone for trials at st judes.
@@thygreek8076 um yeah there are cures for many forms of leukemia. What used to be a certain death sentence is now curable in up to 95% of cases, depending on the type...

Lots of people are finally waking up to the bare fact that EVERYTHING they say is a LIE. But, sadly, some will never see it. And we're ALL lab rats to some extent. Some more than others.
I agree! I couldn't keep watching a documentary earlier because they kept going in circles, and taking forever with their pretty cinematography! I'm American too, but seriously! Just get to the point! lol
I feel so bad for all the patients involved. It had to be terrifying not knowing what is happening to you or possibly going to happen due to the placebo. I hope they all received mental care for their well being. You all are courageous. We salute you for your efforts to help people get healthier. Thank you.
they tought maybe they will recover shortly and wont be needed for other medical intervention,likely no one will find out,but...didn't happend like that!!
It's insane. They had no plan in place for severe adverse reactions. At the first sign of distress they should have said "Screw the trial" and focused on stabilizing the volunteers and getting them treatment. To let them suffer for four hours, sustaining massive damage to their bodies over that time was incompetent and highly unethical.
@@jaelzion Before the drugs are tested on humans they are researched immensely. Again such reactions had never been recorded. Its extremely rare. Not justifying it but its so rare the hospital staff probably thought it would pass soon, unfortunately it didn't.
@@squidiz496 The whole point of a clinical trial is to see how the drug works on actual people. There is ALWAYS a risk when testing experimental drugs on humans for the first time. No amount of animal testing is going to tell you how human beings will be affected by a drug. There is zero excuse for (1) not planning for adverse reactions and (2) watching your test subjects suffer for four hours without doing anything. That's why the rules were tightened up after this incident.
Odonnol if only I could. I don’t want to be manic and suicidal again. Have you been there? So dark you fantasize about finally feeling and seeing nothing, never existing again. Hearing voices. But the meds finally started to work and now I’m feeling so much better.

Maybe the country you are watching the video has no relevant country-specific ads available. Google (which owns UA-cam has trageted ads to specific countries). Here in Canada, I got few ads but I don't think it is that bad. UA-cam is free to watch so I don't mind.

@@ferretsnax I kind of get that, but maybe if the drug had something like cancer to fight it wouldn't have acted that way. There are so many variables when it comes to new medications that you can't really expect a drug for sick people to act normally in a healthy person.
@skxtxn m I see. So it's not just about how the drug will affect the cancer, but also the body to see if the cancer patients could even handle it. But then there leaves the question of knowing if the cancer patients could handle a drug that someone with a healthy immune system can. I understand these things need to be done to save lives, but there's just a lot about it that truly confuses me.
Cancer drug???? Giving that drug is like doing an abortion on a woman who wants children all her life. How could they be so STUPID. You are right. Give it to someone with Type 4 Cancer. They are closer to death. They had nothing to loose. Ah! SAD,
It’s truly strange watching British documentaries as an American. American documentaries are so loud with constant motion and nonstop drama. I appreciate watching something that takes its time to tell the story without the need for embellishment.
I mean this was quite intense too.

It isn't that it's British. They just didn't really need to be flashy because of the content... People fighting for their lives... pretty hardcore as is

I can’t imagine being the person who received the fake medicine, and having to sit there, listening to all this wondering if you are next.
Wait I don't get this where do they say that they were given the fake drug?
two people recieve something completely else while the others recieve the drugs. But no one knows who got what but the doctor/nurse. i believe its explained in the beginning of the video.
neither the docs nor the nurses knew, only the one who packaged them.

I have been receiving a type of monoclonal antibody infusion every 4 weeks for the last 10 years to treat an autoimmune disease. This medication saved my life and allows me to continue surviving. The people who are willing to submit themselves to clinical trials like this are part of the reason I’m still alive, and I have so much respect for them.
True but 😅😅😅😅
My son has a number of symptoms that are autoimmune in nature rendering him at 35 unable to work and using a cane but some days unable to leave the bed. He has been given possible bur never firm diagnosis for everything from MS to Parkinsons to Meneirs to heavy metal intoxication as he shows signs of all. One of the neurologists who seemed most hopeful finding neuropathy and all the signs of his own immune system attacking his digestive and nervous systoms suggested a drug to him which was described as a chemo drug originally for cancer patients but has shown to aid patients such as he. God i wish we coyld speak to you to somehow find out if you have a similar set of issues. If so much comfort it would be while making this very important and heart wrenching decision
I also have an autoimmune disease. I am taking Telfast and Montelukast daily. If I stop, my throat gets tight and itches all over the body. I live with misery and doctors couldn't help me.
There probably not so happy
Maybe try prolonged water only fast around 10 days? Prolonged fast is the only thing that treats and cure autoimmune diseases. And then carnivore diet.

For those of you making fun of the doctor for asking if they're okay, it's actually a very good practice. First of all, he's making sure they're still responsive. Second of all, he's trying to keep them calm. If you saw someone crack their skull open, you wouldn't start shouting "OMG ARE YOU OKAY!? OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA DIE THAT'S A LOT OF BLOOD" no, you'd say "It's going to be okay, you'll be fine."

Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Mike, from Richmond, Virginia
That's great. But everyone that I know that had leukemia and was treated for it , died. They spent years of their life receiving agonizing treatment that was meant to save them, costing thousands. They would be in remission, like they were cured, then it returned, only to kill them quickly, since their immune system was gone. RIP: Aunt Marty, Steele, Carmen.
@@lorinagosso While that is the norm, there are a few exceptions. Perhaps her young age aided her recovery. Then again they say 25% of cancers get cured all by itself (not sure if it applies to leukemia though), but I guess most don't wanna play with those odds and go for the chemo route, despite it perhaps only buying them more time and only making their early death even more likely.
@@lorinagosso leukemia in a certain group age and the type of leukemia the person has determines the rates of their survival. Simply put the older you are the deadlier it gets, children have higher survival rates and longer remission. Sorry for your loss though, seeing a loved one succumb to illness makes you feel hopeless and it's a wound that never heals even after they pass.
I’m so happy for you and Sarah. I hope she loves a long successful life!

To those who are interested, the reason was finally found.
Fair warning: I'm neither a chemist nor a physician, so I cannot guarantee I summed it up correctly. Also, before you jump to any conclusion or think "It sounds obvious that it was bound to go wrong", I suggest looking into the reports on your own, to understand the complexity of in vivo chemistry.
TGN1412 was designed to bind to the CD28 antigen of T lymphocyte cells.
Those T lymphocyte come in two sub-types: "Regulatory T cells", and "Memory T cells".
TGN1412 was designed/intended to stimulate the Regulatory T cells, which are the same in humans as in the monkeys.
However, the Memory T cells have that CD28 antigen as well for humans, but not in the monkeys.
And those cells started to emit a high amount of cytokines when activated by TGN1412.
This widespread sudden and overpaced emission of cytokines is what is called cytokine storm, and the cytokines attack and kill cells. This is what is called and happens in an inflammation. In a normal functioning immune system, this should happen in direct proximity of an infected cell to kill that cell (and only a few others as collateral damage, which are easily replaced in a healthy person). But here it happened in the whole body at once, basically attacking all cells everywhere at the same time.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, it makes perfect sense to me now. Your comment is the only one in here that had the science behind what happened.
Wow a overlook that had devestating result,altho making a new drug is never easy so small things are bound to be missed from time to time
And isn't it ironic that the covid virus that's going around now does the same exact thing in some people, causes a cytokine storm? The monocolona antibodies since then has been perfected and is currently being used in people with covid-19 successfully. The drug is known as regeneron.
Now they use 0.1% less of the drug at 40 times slower rate of infusion then they did in that trial. So basically it was a bad calculation on their part.

This is probably why clinical trials span a few months rather than a few days
Even the placebo dosing is done over a month these days.
Most of the medical trials that I've looked into ask for a commitment of 2-3 years, and specify that the patient can withdraw at any point. I've never looked into a First in Man study (now I understand that as a female, I don't generally qualify for that), though I do understand how vital that step is. Now I understand a bit better!

The saddest patient death I've ever dealt with was a man who had an unexpected allergic reaction to a psoriasis medication we were testing. He was a healthy guy in his early 50s. No one had any reason to believe he wouldn't be going home to his family the next day with some Christmas shopping money in his pocket. It was really a huge shock to everyone, especially his wife and kids.
I wish I wouldn't have read this.. Now I'm sad....I could only imagine how the wife and kids felt..
That is something you should understand taking any drug, isn't it? Let alone the one that was never tested on humans, no one knows whether it is safe and that's exactly the risk they are paid for.. If it was safe (and none of the drugs are just cause of the personal reactions anyway) there wouldn't be a need in testing it..
The people are lured by money like the 50 years old man that sadly lost his life. When you are 50 YO with family of your own, it’s not advised to take a trial test. Unfortunately he probably needed the money.

@@sunandmoon139 That's not actually what it is. It's when a person experiences a decrease in symptom severity, because they believe they are receiving medication. The placebo effect does not cure illnesses, it just helps to relieve symptoms.
@@sunandmoon139 It has to do with believing that you are receiving a treatment that will make you feel better. I reccomend that you look up some examples and/or articles about it on google, as it's actually quite fascinating. There is also the nocebo effect, which is when a person believes a treatment will have negative side effects, so they end up experiencing those side effects simply because they expected to experience them. There have been trials done where one group of people is give sugar pills (though the trial participants were told it was real medication) and were not warned of any potential side effects, while the second group received the same placebo pills, but were told a list of potential side effects they might experience. The people in the second group reported experiencing those side effects at a much higher rate than people in the first group. By believing they might feel unwell, the trial participants actually caused themselves to feel sick. It really goes to show how much your mindset can effect you. This even manifests psychologically as well.
For example, if you believe that you won't ever succeed, chances are you will have a lessened ability to perform tasks, low motivation, and little dedication. One of the biggest effects would be that you stop trying, and that you never actually put 100% into something. I mean, why bother putting your all into something if you are sure you will fail?? Alternatively, if you believe that you could be very successful, you would likely take way more opportunities, work harder and put more effort into things, have high motivation, and be very dedicated. These changes in behaivor have a serious effect on your life, and could actually cause someone to fail at things simply because they are convinced they aren't capable of succeeding.
This is called fortune telling in psychology, if I remember correctly. I'm very guilty of doing this myself, actually. It's harder than it sounds to let go of all the negative beliefs one has about themselves and start believing in themselves all of the sudden. It's really hard, and at this point I actually fortune tell about fortune telling. I know that I do it a lot, so I end up doing it even more simply because I expect myself to. It's maddening 😂😭

I've watched this so many times-- the reenactments, along with the survivor's stories are so compelling.😢
I found this a very interesting article. My granddaughter had a rare cancer at the age of 2 and ALL of her treatment was through international clinical trials. Part of her treatment was immunotherapy, where one of the risks was a cytokine storm because of the use of monoclonal antibodies. After nearly four years of treatment she is now five years in remission. The harsh treatments she had have left her with a variety of health problems, but she is a happy 10 year old now and very precious to our family. Whilst she has contributed to many clinical trials through her treatments, we are indebted to the children who have gone before her and may have since died of the illness or the treatment. Anyone who contributes to the advance of medicine through participating in clinical trials (of whatever stage) is making a massive contribution to the rest of humanity.
Amen. I agree. And with any trials, all precautions should be taken, and there should ALWAYS be an ESTABLISHED anecdotal plan in case of known, and especially unknown, side affects.
The posh doctor interviews between creepypasta-like reenactment scenes is such a mood
@@pamsam8933 I I IC think ⁹I 99
@@pamsam8933 the problem is that you can't know the side effects to 100% certainty in advance. You can inject them into mice and monkeys and test on human cells and determine it "might" be safe. When you are the one taking a drug that no human has taken before, nobody can predict with certainty what is going to happen, it's a big risk and they should (and almost always do) tell you that it is a risk.
The reason things like this are big stories is because of how rare events like this are. The vast, vast majority of first for human clinical trials have the worst problem of people withdrawing due to side effects. This occurs in both the cohort getting the drug and the cohort getting placebo. Multiple fatalities in a single trial is so unusual as to lead to videos like this. The risk is higher in rare illness, where there just fundamentally isn't as much data in. Even then, like in this case, actual death is exceptionally rare.
Totally irrelevant, but the dramatization of this event was first class. As a cancer survivor, I am so grateful to anyone who participates in trials. Including the medical staff who take part. I am sorry that these men went through this horrific experience and I am grateful that, despite the dire consequences, new protocols relating to trials have been adopted. Seeing David with his young family was a huge relief ❤️
My twin sister nearly died from Covid. The dramatization in this show is similar to what she went through. People next to her who did not make it were wheeled away. She said it was the worst experience of her life. Thank God she survived.

The major issue was the drug being administered to every man within minutes of one another instead of adopting a wait and see approach, which you think would be standard initially in a first in man trial. Side note: David’s family is beautiful! So happy to see that.
While that's clearly the case, it seems they still have done everything according to protocol, haven't they? At least they say that in the documentary, so it may not have been standard at the time?
@@juditmlnr you would think it’d be common sense though. A drug that’s never been given to humans before and they’re rapidly dosing everyone before any side effects are able to take effect. Live and learn, I guess. I’m just glad it wasn’t at the expense of someone’s life.
@@juditmlnrI mean technically, yes, they did everything according to protocol - but the protocol is largely determined by the entity running the trial following some standard guidelines and requirements. personally, I think the biggest problem is that this kind of reaction should not have been so unforeseen (they even acknowledged cytokine storm as a possible side effect beforehand) that they didn’t prepare for it to happen in a first-in-human trial.

You know how commercials list all those crazy side effects like diarrhea and death? That's because someone experienced that.
This was malpractice in testing.
@@gemmawatson1879 me too
Tbh, it is the drug company responsible, not the doctor... Idk why everyone is blaming him. He had a job, he tried his best... I'm so sorry to the men that you had to experience that
Agreed
Exactly. He was just there to inject them and make sure they were ok. It was completely out of his control
I honestly think no one is responsible.they've tested it on mice and the mice did not show any of the probants symptoms. They also warn you and hand you a contract where they warn you that there might be some serious long term complications while testing the drug.
Sure I wouldn't hope anyone was in their position and this was a very dangerous situation, however the probants knew that there might be serious complications.
So in this case, no one is to blame and those who went running to their lawyer are nothing but morrons from my point of view.
But they injected humans with the drug much more faster then was done on previous testing on animals.
@@phasorthunder1157 TBH, the speed of the injection likely had little overall change on the drastic effects. The severe reaction in people probably came from the differences in T cells between mice and humans, which was newer knowledge at the time.
Poor guys i hope they have managed to deal with the PTSD from this event. This is not something you can get over easily.
Agreed.
I don't blame them from being very weary about man made medicine.

This is astounding. I'm 24 years in remission from Leukaemia and two years of gruelling chemotherapy treatment I endured from 16 - 18. I imagine at some point each one of the toxins in the specific chemo cocktail I received were one trialled by participants equally as brave as these hero's. And I can say I wouldn't have envied what they put themselves through in doing so either! But I'm beyond grateful they did! Even given the long term ramifications I'll be dealing with from here on in, I wouldn't forsake that for the experience I had knowing what it is to be in love and the pure joy I eventually experienced in giving birth to two gorgeous and extremely precious daughters.
It's crazy when you think about the fact that healthy people took chemotherapy drugs first to see if it was safe. Knowingly taking the equivalent of a bomb going off in your system since it'll destroy everything in sight is wild
Success stories like you are exactly why I work in research. Every single cancer therapy and Alzheimer’s drug trial I hope not so see any observations or toxicity. It is always very sad when something doesn’t work as intended.

To let them suffer for four hours, sustaining massive damage to their bodies over that time was incompetent and highly unethical.

@@squidiz496 The whole point of a clinical trial is to see how the drug works on actual people. There is ALWAYS a risk when testing experimental drugs on humans for the first time. No amount of animal testing is going to tell you how human beings will be affected by a drug.
