Objetivo: identificar os principais aspetos inovadores do Regulamento relativo aos ensaios clínicos de medicamentos para uso humano, em termos de oportunidades para a investigação e desenvolvimento e refletir sobre os desafios éticos deste novo quadro legal. Metodologia: estudo documental, descritivo, comparativo, do Regulamento face à Diretiva 2001/20/CE, e leitura de bibliografia publicada no PubMed, usando termos de pesquisa combinados ou simples como clinical, trials, European, Regulation, Directive, opportunities, challenges e innovation. Resultados: os principais aspetos inovadores identificados foram o Portal da União Europeia para submissão do dossiê do ensaio clínico e avaliação conjunta entre os Estados-Membros envolvidos num ensaio clínico; disponibilização pública de informação, resultados dos ensaios e um sumário de resultados para leigos; foram criadas a figura do copromotor, categorias de ensaios em função do risco; estabelecidos novos procedimentos para obtenção de consentimento informado e requisitos para uma maior proteção para os indivíduos mais vulneráveis; e definido o quadro normativo para a realização de ensaios clínicos em situação de emergência. Discussão: estão previstos procedimentos que visam contrariar a perda de competitividade da Europa, promovendo a inovação, alguns dos quais não estão isentos de questionamento ético. Conclusão: a simplificação, harmonização e maior transparência em todo o processo de submissão e condução dos ensaios clínicos tem o potencial de promover a investigação, mas traz alguns aspetos inquietantes em matéria de proteção dos participantes nos ensaios clínicos.

IntroductionThe French Network of Pediatric Clinical Investigations Centers (FN-PCIC) created in 2000 includes today 16 CIC grouped under the auspices of the INSERM and the corresponding public university hospitals. In response to the European pediatric regulation published in 2007, all pharmaceuticals laboratories, in order to complete their drug profile, must conduct pediatric clinical trials according to the Pediatric Clinical Investigation Plan and validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This network plays a major role in facilitating and optimizing the conduction of nation-wide pediatric clinical trials. Therefore, the PN-CIC plays a major role to response to this acute demand in the pediatric field. The purpose of this review is to sum up the activity of the FN-PCIC between 2008 and 2013 and to analyze the impact of the European regulation.MethodsOnly the industrial protocols will be analyzed, for every protocol a certain number of information was collected such as the pharmaceutical industry, the therapeutic fields, the phase of the study, the duration of the study, the methodology, and the number of patients needed.Results261 protocols were active during this period by 90 different sponsors. 218 were interventional studies and 43 were observational or non-drug studies (registers, post-AMM). The number of active studies was at 127 in 2013 compared to 76 in 2008. Furthermore, the total number of participations were 242 for 16 CIC in 2013 compared to 110 in 2008. The mean inclusion rate was 87%. The percentage of the common studies rises from 36% in 2008 to 50% in 2013. In addition, the feasibility study demands increased and were as high as 57, an average of one demand per week The inclusion percentage calculated using the data of the closed studies is at 87%. The therapeutic fields concerned were nephrology and oncology (15%), then neurology and pneumology (13%).ConclusionActivity increased, linked to the national coverage now including 16 centers and high quality procedures to perform pediatric research trials under high ethical and quality standards.

Gallium 67

The radionuclide gallium-67 (67Ga) localizes preferentially but not specifically in many human and experimental soft-tissue tumors. Because of this localization, 67Ga is used in clinical trials to detect humar. cancers by external scintiscanning methods. However, the fact that 67Ga does not localize specifically in tumors requires for its eventual clinical usefulness a fuller understanding of the mechanisms that control its deposition in both malignant and normal cells. We have previously reported that 67Ga localizes in lysosomal-like bodies, notably, although not exclusively, in macrophages of the spocytaneous AKR thymoma. Further studies on the uptake of 67Ga by macrophages are needed to determine whether there are factors related to malignancy that might alter the localization of 67Ga in these cells and thus provide clues to discovering the mechanism of 67Ga localization in tumor tissue.
