Benefit, risk, and the therapeutic misconception -- Looking backward: a model value for translational trials -- The chasm: the ethics of initiating first-in-human clinical trials -- Tropic of cancers: gene transfer in resource-poor settings -- Great expectations and hard times: expectation management in gene transfer -- Something in the sight adjusts itself: conclusions.Human gene transfer is widely regarded as one of the most promising technologies for the treatment of a variety of disorders, but it presents practitioners with a variety of difficult ethical questions. Gene Transfer and the Ethics of First-in-Human Research examines the ethical and policy dimensions of testing interventions in human beings for the first time. The book discusses the difficult ethical challenges that arise from attempting to translate laboratory discoveries into clinical applications. These range from which available techniques to use, when to initiate human testing, questions of consent, expectation in public arenas, how to define acceptable risk, and the inclusion of vulnerable or disadvantaged subjects in early phase trials. This book is relevant to ethicists, legal practitioners, policy makers, geneticists and clinicians involved in clinical trials of new medical interventions.Gene Transfer & the Ethics of First-in-Human ResearchGene therapyMoral and ethical aspectsClinical trialsMoral and ethical aspectsGene therapyMoral and ethical aspects.Clinical trialsMoral and ethical aspects.615.8/95Kimmelman Jonathan1518421UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910792125203321Gene transfer and the ethics of first-in-human research3756008UNINA
