Drug Trial Victim Expected To Receive More Than £2 Million

Six people took part in the test in March 2006 at a North London hospital, during which they were given the drug TGN 1421, a drug that was hoped to be a cure for conditions as varied as arthritis, leukaemia and MS.

Far from being a miracle cure, the drug caused such severe side effects that Mr Wilson's body swelled to three times its size and doctors were forced to put him in a medical coma for nearly three weeks. Wilson suffered liver, heart and kidney failure and had to have all of his toes and some of his fingers amputated. Now, two years on, he still lives in constant pain, with a dramatically reduced immune system.

For the past two years Parexel, the research group behind the trials, have refused to accept any blame for what went wrong. However, lawyers for the victims have amassed evidence, which is claimed to show that the company was negligent. Sources suggest that Parexel may now finally be willing to compensate the victims.

We deal in a range of claims, including personal injury claims and compensation.
