A member asked:
In clinical trials x cirrhosis, "no illegal drugs or abused drugs" allowed before or during the study? do they test you using urine or blood? is legal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Read protocols: Trials are highly controlled to monitor for potential side effect of medications and interactions with other drugs as well as cure. It is legal to test as you are a voluntary participant in a study. A positive test would most likely result in your dismissal from the trial as you would have ongoing risk of infection with Hep B/C and HIV skewing the results of the trial and efficacy data.
