WHAT! That is the most unethical thing I have ever seen someone write on this board. That is absolutely NOT how clinical trials work. If a enrolling doctor EVER was to coax a patient into taking medication when they don't meet the trial legitimately for the actual indications to provide therapeutic benefit, that doctor would go to jail.

You should do a google search for "clinical equipoise" which is mandatory for patients being enrolled. It means it is unclear whether the drug works or not and so it is ethical to randomize patients to drug or placebo, because we legitimately don't know what works. You should also google search on how randomized trials work.

Honestly, I means this politely, but the fact you think a doctor could encourage people to join a trial without informed consent and actual need shows you need to do some reading mate.

Invest in the science.
