Should paediatricians support the European Paediatric Clinical Trials Register?
نویسندگان
چکیده
T he importance of clinical trials in children in providing a scientific evidence base for drug therapy is accepted by health professionals, regulatory authorities, the pharmaceutical industry, and the parents of children. Legislation in the USA alongside government investment in research has resulted in a significant increase in paediatric clinical trials in North America. European legislation is currently being proposed that will provide a financial incentive to the pharmaceutical industry to study medicines in Europe. The proposal has been prepared by the European Commission following extensive consultation. Within the UK the establishment of a Medicines for Children Research Network will hopefully also ensure that more clinical trials are performed in paediatric patients of all ages.
