A clinical test is an experiment to people before the release of medicine in the market. The main purpose of this test is comparing the new medicine which is made by same ingredient of existing medicine to original one about its absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion in the body. So, basic safety is somehow guaranteed.
You should have a medical check-up before experiment, so unqualified person will not be accepted. This work brings in a good income because it's a clinical test. Therefore, usually poor and healthy university students apply it.
Some clinical tests demand hospitalization for few days and bring a medicine everyday, so it could be such a nuisance.
One thing that you should keep in mind is, you could be refused by an insurance company when you wanna take up an insurance policy. Who accepts the customer who has ever eaten hypertension medicine or antidiabetic before? Nobody.
Degree of risk is different depending on the medicine of each experiment. If the risk is high, a drug manufacturer should announce it to subjects in advance. Because it could be a serious legal problem if something happens. After all, all decisions rely on one's ownself.
But, though this is a part-time job that safety is guaranteed, various incidents are bound to happen. Following shows a risk of clinical experiment obviously.
