Children are among the most vulnerable populations in clinical research. Conducting ethical paediatric clinical trials requires a careful balance between advancing medical knowledge and protecting the rights and welfare of child participants. Ethical challenges often arise around consent, risk-benefit assessment, regulatory oversight and ensuring compliance with national and international standards.
