« Pediatrics does not deal with miniature men and women, with reduced doses and the same class of disease in smaller bodies, but has its own independent range and horizon. » Dr. Abraham Jacobi in Kearns et Al., 2003 « There are more than 100 million children in the EU. The majority of parents of these children are not aware that medicines are often not tested, labeled, or approved for the indications for which they are prescribed by pediatricians. » Klaus Rose, J.N. van den AnkerGuide to Pediatric Clinical Research « Clinical trials are more difficult with children, but they are far more important than ones on adults: their rarity is a true ethical scandal.» Prof. Jacqmin, Prof. Gueffier Ateliers de Giens XX, 2006 |
