Can children participate in a clinical trial?

Children’s bodies work in different ways than adults, so there is a need to test if medicines are safe and effective for children. Many children participate in clinical research, and as a result, treatment options for pediatric patients continue to improve. When clinical research involves children, parents and guardians are fully informed and involved throughout the entire process.
