Abstract

Clinical trials in children should be carried out to provide adequate protection whilst recognising the right to benefit from research. Their vulnerability emphasizes the responsibility to ensure parental permission and assent of able children, assurance of direct benefit for the child with the particular condition, minimization of risk, and scientific necessity of the research. Although there may be ethical concerns about conducting paediatric trials, this has to be balanced by the ethical concerns about giving medicines to a population in which they have not been tested. Specific clinical trials in paediatric populations are required due to age-related differences in the drug handling or drug effects which may lead to different formulation or dose requirements to achieve efficacy or to avoid adverse effects.
