Today’s interview is with a professional clinical trial healthy volunteer. As of late, these types of clinical trials have been getting a lot of media attention, and we decided it would be good to inform our viewers on what volunteering for a Phase 1 clinical trial as a healthy volunteer is all about. As you can tell from the interview, Danny is an educated and very informed clinical trial participant, which is something that Don and I always emphasize and encourage. Furthermore, Danny participates in these healthy volunteer clinical trials for the money like everyone else, but he says it also buys and allows for him to live the lifestyle that he wants. he travels across the country and is able to afford that via participating in these clinical trials. Furthermore, without people like Danny volunteering in these clinical trials, no one in the later phases of clinical trials would ever want to volunteer without first knowing some side effects of the study drug. Knowing these side effects, and the maximum tolerated doses of the study drug would not be possible without healthy volunteers first participating in Phase 1 clinical trials. Let us know what you think, and we thank all clinical trial participants for volunteering their time to a very worthy cause.
