Safety and efficacy data on many medicines used in children are surprisingly
scarce. As a result children are sometimes given ineffective medicines or
medicines with unknown harmful side effects. Better and more relevant clinical
trials in children are needed to increase our knowledge of the effects of
medicines and to prevent the delayed or non-use of beneficial therapies. Clinical
trials provide reliable evidence of treatment effects by rigorous controlled
testing of interventions on human subjects. Paediatric trials are more
challenging to conduct than trials in adults because of the paucity of funding,
uniqueness of children and particular ethical concerns. Although current
regulations and initiatives are improving the scope, quantity and quality of
trials in children, there are still deficiencies that need to be addressed to
accelerate radically equitable access to evidence-based therapies in children.
