AHRP Comments on Landmark Decision by the Court of Appeals of Maryland
A landmark decision by Maryland’s highest court, the Court of Appeals of Maryland, is a victory for the human rights of children. The decision affirms the responsibility of parents, the government, researchers and institutional review boards (IRB) to protect children from non-therapeutic experiments that may put their health at risk.
AHRP: Published NIMH Funded Prozac Trial Report Concealed Suicide Attempts by Teens
Recent revelations indicate that pharmaceutical companies have selectively reported partial (favorable) clinical trial results from pediatric antidepressant trials and concealed evidence of harm from physicians, other health care professionals, and the public. It is universally agreed in the literature that failure to disclose all trial results compromises physicians’ ability to provide professional care – thereby increasing the likelihood of causing preventable harm. More generally, failure to disclose trial results in scientific publications taints the scientific literature (by rendering it not credible) and, as New York State Attorney General Elliot Spitzer charged recently, constitutes plain and simple fraud.
Memorandum in Opposition to California AB 2328
REASONS FOR OPPOSITION:
Researchers would not be required to first try approved treatments, if any exist, before entering the patient into a medical experiment that may be "risky."
Researchers would not be required to consult with an independent medical expert, a non-researcher who would consider the patient’s best medical interests as paramount.
Researchers would not be required to disclose their own professional and financial interests deriving from the experiment.
Researchers would not be required to fully disclose to the patient’s family what happened to other patients who had already participated in the experiment.

Re: COMMENT ON: Docket #00N-0074 April 24, 2001 Interim Rule: "Additional Safeguards for Children in Clinical Investigations of FDA-Regulated Products
Excerpt: The FDA rightly chose not to permit the section 46.408 (c) waiver by IRBs of parental or guardian permission, as it leaves the specific circumstances for such a violation of parental rights to the discretion of local Institutional Review Boards (IRB). Given the stream of revelations of gross ethical and procedural violations at one after another of the nation’s premier research institutions, assumptions that “procedural safeguards are in place,” or that IRBs can be relied upon to make decisions that protect the best interests of human subjects – adults and children – has been debunked.
