Shocking! 1,705 deaths in Clinical Trials Since 2021, reveals RTI
Advertisement
In a grim reality, from 2021 till July 2025, clinical trials in India have seen 1,705 deaths and more than 7,000 serious adverse events, equivalent to one participant dying and four others suffering life-threatening complications every single day, according to data released by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) through an RTI response.
This information was provided by CDSCO in response to an RTI query, which had sought SAE-related data for Hyderabad and Telangana. Instead, the regulator shared nationwide figures.
