An insider's look into the world of pediatric drug trials: when
research outcomes can quite literally represent life or death Many
parents of children with serious health problems may wonder why new
medicines are initially not approved for minors and, if their
condition is rare, why at the same time there is such pressure to
enter any young person under 18 into drug trials. So-called
'paediatric' pharmaceutical studies have become an international
multi-billion business, with many careers in academia, regulatory
authorities and the pharmaceutical industry based on this work, yet
much of this activity is founded on a series of flawed concepts
that have led to an immeasurable waste of resources and serious,
ongoing medical abuse. In this revelatory book, the former head of
paediatric drug research at two major pharmaceutical companies
provides a guide for parents and non-specialists interested in
advancing the health of children--both individuals facing serious
disease and groups of children enrolled in testing programs. Rose
explains the key differences between clinically-directed and
administratively-directed research, what will potentially benefit
or harm children, and how laws need to change around the world so
that true advances can be made.
