|Title=A Review of the Impact of the TeGenero Trial on the Design, Conduct, and Ethics of FIM Trials
|Is About=This paper reviews the controversy, analyzes the problems of the TGN1412 trial and FIM trials in general and the reaction of the lay and scientific communities. Difficulties in these high risk trials is highlighted and possible design and execution procedural improvements are recommended. Consideration is given to the ethical debate regarding participation of normal, healthy research volunteers in FIM studies. The role of monetary incentive(s) is discussed as well as the opposition of many participants in this debate on financial compensation of volunteers for the assumption of risk and the need to adopt a no-fault scheme that fairly compensates injured trial participants<ref>https://journals.lww.com/americantherapeutics/Abstract/2007/11000/First_in_Man__FIM__Clinical_Trials_Post_TeGenero_.20.aspx</ref>.

|Is About=This factual case details a so-called ‘First-in-man’ (FIM) clinical trial that seriously harmed the six participants who received the drug under investigation. The report discusses the consequences of the disastrous trial for later FIM trials. The article considers the scientific consequences, such as the procedure to determine the acceptable dose of the drug, and reviews the ethical dimensions of FIM trials, like potential monetary compensation for the risks the participants take.  
|Important Because=FIM studies are critical for the development of new therapeutic agents. Improving trial design and execution and fairly compensating volunteers will facilitate these studies, enhance equity and thus provide an ethical basis for continuing FIM studies that may pose a serious risk to participants, a risk that society needs taken for the development of needed therapeutic agents <ref>https://journals.lww.com/americantherapeutics/Abstract/2007/11000/First_in_Man__FIM__Clinical_Trials_Post_TeGenero_.20.aspx</ref>.

The case discussed here shows that even when the trial is reviewed and approved by ethical boards, it can end disastrously for the trial participants. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to review the errors made and learn lessons from tragic cases such as the one discussed here.

Cases

A Review of the Impact of the TeGenero Trial on the Design, Conduct, and Ethics of FIM Trials

What is this about?

This factual case details a so-called ‘First-in-man’ (FIM) clinical trial that seriously harmed the six participants who received the drug under investigation. The report discusses the consequences of the disastrous trial for later FIM trials. The article considers the scientific consequences, such as the procedure to determine the acceptable dose of the drug, and reviews the ethical dimensions of FIM trials, like potential monetary compensation for the risks the participants take.

Why is this important?

The health of the participants should be the top priority in clinical trials, especially in FIM trials where drugs are tested that potentially pose a high risk to the health of the participants. The case discussed here shows that even when the trial is reviewed and approved by ethical boards, it can end disastrously for the trial participants. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to review the errors made and learn lessons from tragic cases such as the one discussed here. The overview presented by the current article may help us to do so.

For whom is this important?
