If the globalization of clinical trials for adult medications has drawn little attention, foreign trials for childrens drugs have attracted even less. The Argentinean province of Santiago del Estero, with a population of nearly a million, is one of the countrys poorest. In 2008 seven babies participating in drug testing in the province suffered what the U.S. clinical-trials community refers to as an adverse event: they died. The deaths occurred as the children took part in a medical trial to test the safety of a new vaccine, Synflorix, to prevent pneumonia, ear infections, and other pneumococcal diseases. Developed by GlaxoSmithKline, the worlds fourth-largest pharmaceutical company in terms of global prescription-drug sales, the new vaccine was intended to compete against an existing vaccine. In all, at least 14 infants enrolled in clinical trials for the drug died during the testing. Their parents, some illiterate, had their children signed up without understanding that they were taking part in an experiment. Local doctors who persuaded parents to enroll their babies in the trial reportedly received $350 per child. The two lead investigators contracted by Glaxo were fined by the Argentinean government. So was Glaxo, though the company maintained that the mortality rate of the children did not exceed the rate in the regions and countries participating in the study. No independent group conducted an investigation or performed autopsies. As it happens, the brother of the lead investigator in Santiago del Estero was the Argentinean provincial health minister ...
