Test subjects

If you were starting human trials on a new drug ... how would you choose your subjects? There are sure to be ethical guidelines around this type of thing and probably whole areas of study but where do you tap into these fields if you aren't in them? The question came up while I was watching Venom - when "off the book" experiments are being conducted on folk who have either not come along voluntarily or have been promised a way out of their current (not so good) life predicament. So, if you were trying to get a positive result, would you pick the very best subjects you could or just who you could find?
