Clinical Trial Deaths

The Right to Information (RTI) Act can be used to address clinical trial deaths in the following ways:

• RTI can be used to obtain information about clinical trials that have been conducted in India. This information can then be used to identify clinical trials that have resulted in deaths.

• RTI can be used to obtain information about the safety and efficacy of investigational products that are being tested in clinical trials. This information can then be used to determine whether the investigational products are safe and effective.

• RTI can be used to obtain information about the compensation that has been paid to the families of participants who have died in clinical trials. This information can then be used to determine whether the compensation is fair.

Here is an example of how the RTI Act has been used to address clinical trial deaths:

In 2013, an RTI activist filed an RTI application with the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) to ask for information about clinical trials that had been conducted in India and that had resulted in deaths. The RTI application revealed that the CDSCO had not kept proper records of clinical trials that had resulted in deaths. The RTI activist filed a complaint with the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), which is an anti-corruption watchdog. The CVC investigated the complaint and found that the CDSCO had indeed been negligent in its efforts to keep proper records of clinical trials. The CVC recommended that the CDSCO take steps to improve its record-keeping practices. The CDSCO subsequently took steps to improve its record-keeping practices.

This is just one example of how the RTI Act can be used to address the problem of clinical trial deaths. By using the RTI Act, citizens can obtain information about clinical trials that have resulted in deaths, identify gaps in the government's oversight of clinical trials, and demand that the government take action to protect the safety of clinical trial participants.

Social activists can ensure that clinical trials are conducted fairly by:

• Monitoring clinical trials to ensure that they are conducted in accordance with ethical and scientific standards. Social activists can do this by attending clinical trial sites, reviewing clinical trial protocols, and interviewing clinical trial participants.

• Advocating for the rights of clinical trial participants. Social activists can do this by raising awareness about the risks and benefits of clinical trials, providing information and support to clinical trial participants, and helping clinical trial participants to file complaints if they believe that their rights have been violated.

• Demanding transparency in the conduct of clinical trials. Social activists can do this by requesting information about clinical trials from government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and clinical trial sites.

• Holding government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and clinical trial sites accountable for their actions. Social activists can do this by filing complaints with government agencies, organizing protests, and boycotting pharmaceutical companies.
