    Does anybody know of anywhere in Ireland that pays to do clinical/medical trials? A friend of mine from England has told me that its quite frequent for people in need of extra cash over there to participate and I've been looking around the internet but can't really find any from over here (I'm not crazy, just really broke!)

    Not any more
    Austin Darragh I think used to run this in the 1980's witha large clinical trials company

    The trials in IReland tend to be more focussed and later stages in drug development so looking at patients

    The Shandon Clinic in Cork used to do them don't know if they still do. Everything from toothpaste to confirming the bio availability of drugs coming into the irish market. AFAIK they don't do true new drugs. The amount of money paid corresponds to the risk to you and the amount of your time required.

    A lot of drug testing in humans is now done in India.

    Not as much as you'd think, you have to run the RCTs in the country where you are seeking market approval.

    Under EU law you are no longer allowed pay participants in a clinical trial, but you can claim back 'expenses' which is how some phase I centres (the type that use healthy volunteers) get around it, but you're looking at around 75 euro a day, perhaps a little more. Personally I wouldn't be administered with a novel compound and have hourly blood tests done all day for that little amount of money, but to each their own.
