Pediatric subjects participating in HHS-funded or FDA-regulated studies are afforded additional protections not codified in subpart A of the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (the Common Rule). Subpart D—which describes additional considerations when children are research subjects—introduces new terms like assent, parental permission, minor increase over minimal risk, prospect of direct benefit, and one and two parent signatures.
When assessing risk for pediatric studies, an IRB must evaluate all procedures and interventions against four categories of research. To make this determination properly, the IRB has to decide on two inconsistently defined concepts: 1) is there prospect of direct benefit? Or 2) does the research present minimal risk or a minor increase over minimal risk? During this webinar, speakers will address such questions and more. (Presented on September 18, 2019)
