 The ministry did not say what the medicine was intended to be used
for, but said the six volunteers, one of whom was in a coma, had
been in good health until taking the oral medication at the clinic
in Brittany, northern France.
French TV channel iTele said the trial was for a painkiller
containing cannabis and took place at a laboratory in Rennes.
"This test was carried out at a private facility specialized in
carrying out clinical trials," the ministry said in a statement.
All trials on the drug have now been suspended and all volunteers
who have taken part in the trial are being called back.
