Clinical Trials and Children

Until recently, children were rarely included in studies of medical treatments. As a result, much is still unknown about how children respond to drugs, some biologics (such as gene therapy) and medical devices. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), only 20-30% of approved drugs have actually been labeled for use in children.
