The problem of a juridical and administrative regulation for therapeutic drugs is analyzed. There are 3 concurring factors of public interest: 1. protection of the patient against dangerous side-effects, 2. promotion of new effective therapies. 3. position and responsibility of the physician. Risks and problems of control are discussed in the light of development of a new preparation. A scheme of functions in the clinical trial under auspices of medico-ethical postulations is mentioned. Restrictive facts on behalf of a quick development of drug therapy are discussed. The necessity of intensifying biological basic research is emphasized.
