Pediatric clinical trials

Pediatric clinical trials are research studies that test new medical treatments, drugs, or devices specifically in children. These trials help determine if a treatment is safe and effective for different age groups within the pediatric population. Since children are different from adults in how they grow and respond to medicines, these studies ensure that treatments are appropriate and safe for them. Conducted under strict regulations, pediatric trials follow ethical guidelines to protect young participants, ultimately aiming to improve healthcare options tailored for children’s unique needs.
