The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation has sent a three-member team to Jaipur to inquire into an alleged unethical human clinical trial conducted by a pharma company at a private hospital in the Rajasthan capital, the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) said today.
Rajasthan Health Minister Kalicharan Saraf also constituted a three-member panel to probe into the alleged incident.
According to state officials, nearly two dozen people hailing from Rajasthan's Churu and Bharatpur districts were allegedly subjected to the unethical human clinical trial for an osteo-ortho drug at the hospital.
DCGI Dr S Eswara Reddy, in Delhi, said, "We have sent a team of three officials to Jaipur to inquire into the matter along with the state drug controller."
