In Britain, two men are in critical condition after suffering violent reactions to a pill they took as part of a clinical study. Another four participants in the study are in serious condition. The study, run by American drug research company Parexel International, gave the participants doses of the German drug TGN 1412. Myfanwy Marshall, the partner of one of the hospitalized men, said: “His face is bloated out like 'elephant man'… it’s all the blood, they’re recycling his blood trying to clean it out, you know, it’s affected every organ, every… his kidneys, his lung, his liver, his heart his blood circulation, everything; and they’re just trying to keep that ticking over with their machines, so he’s on life support. And they’re telling me he could die at any moment.”
