How correct is it to introduce at the national level a complete ban on participation in clinical trials of certain categories of vulnerable research subjects? For which categories of vulnerable research subjects is a full ban advisable?
Populations banned to participate in clinical trials are listed in Helsinki Declaration and ICH guidelines for GCP.
Vulnerable subjects are vulnetable in all circumstances. Vulnerable subject shouldn't participate in any research unless it is specifically targetting that particular vulnerable group. Except in this siruation, I suppose participation in other CTs is unethical...
It is ethically correct as long as the specific vulnerable group is the target population in any clinical study. It is a logical move in order to safeguard interests of the underprivileged and downtrodden.
