Male participants needed for a study examining a new drug: your chance to earn £300

Researchers from the UCL Division of Medicine are looking for male participants aged 18-50 to take part in their study examining a new drug aimed at healing acute inflammation.

Participants must be healthy non-smokers who are not taking any regular medication and are not part of another study. Researchers have advised the drug in the study has already been safely administered to healthy participants.

The study will involve daily visits to the Rayne Institute, 5, University Street, London over a period of one week, participants will also need to provide blood sample on all the days of the study. Days 1, 2 and 3 will require participants to make two short visits to Rayne Institute to take the drug capsule under the researcher's observation. On Day 4 participants will be need to take part in one long visit to the institute when researchers will cause inflammation on your forearm and raise two small skin blisters. Days 5,6,7 will involve a short visit for assessment of inflammation site.
