That was a test of a new drug by a firm that had never tested drugs before.

Six guinea-pigs received the drug and all developed critical systems failure (one whose head also ?doubled? in size)

One has since been diagnosed with cancer.

The drugs firm went bankrupt.

but that was the first test of a new experimental drug, not the use of one with a known toxicity.
