Independent Safety Monitoring Committee Valuable Asset For The Drug Trials Conducted With The Children

It is accepted fact that Clinical trials are essential for the medical world to come out with the improved medical therapies to treat the new diseases that are killing the world. In spite of the huge benefits offered by the drug trails, they carry the blame of risk and unethical.

To skip the blame the sponsor has to appoint an independent review committee who can examine the data and fore cast the anticipated results and question the team of experts on the behalf of the patients. This independent committee will study the data and warn if the drug appears to be placing the volunteer at risk. Inclusion of this independent review committee in the drug trials will minimize the risks and maximizes the benefit. Using the unlicensed drugs or drugs prescribed to the adults would be only option if we stop clinical trial testing on the Children.
