This session presents a case study of the review of a pediatric protocol by a federal panel under 21 CFR 50.54 (Clinical investigations not otherwise approvable that present an opportunity to understand, prevent, or alleviate a serious problem affecting the health or welfare of children.). The panel review addressed the ethics of the administration of placebo through a central venous access device in pediatric patients. Parent and patient perspectives were instrumental in informing the panel’s decision and will be highlighted by a family presentation at the session.

Learning Objectives

Describe the federal regulations and ethical considerations when using a central venous access device to administer a placebo in a pediatric clinical trial; Discuss prospect of direct benefit, component analysis, and research risk analysis; Recognize how patient engagement and burden can impact risk analysis decisions; Discuss a federal ethics panel review of a protocol referred to the FDA.
