Clinical Trials in Children with Impaired Mental Capacity
PRA has written a new white paper on conducting clinical trials with adolescents, specifically children with impaired mental capacity. In the majority of clinical trials we undertake, the consent process is fairly straightforward; however, we do conduct studies in patients who lack legal competence. This occurs most frequently in pediatric patients; in these cases the lack of […]
Clinical Trials in Children with Impaired Mental Capacity
