Are Linear's Trials Safe?

• Linear follows regulations and guidelines in accordance with international certification under Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and in accordance with TGA (Australia), FDA (USA), EMA (EU) and Medicines Australia guidelines
• Every volunteer has to provide consent, go through medical questions specific to the trial, is assessed by a qualified doctor and goes through extensive medical examinations to make sure it is safe for them to participate
• New drugs and therapies have to go through extensive years of testing before they are tested in clinical trials on humans.
