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. 520 "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"- -Provided by publisher. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 0 Gene therapy|xMoral and ethical aspects. 650 0 Clinical trials|xMoral and ethical aspects. 650 12 Gene Transfer Techniques|xethics. 650 22 Human Experimentation|xethics. 650 22 Public Policy. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKimmelman, Jonathan.|tGene transfer and the ethics of first-in-human research.|dCambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2010|z9780521690843 |w(DLC) 2009029830|w(OCoLC)428770843 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n3155641 938 Coutts Information Services|bCOUT|n11550525 938 Ingram Digital eBook Collection|bIDEB|n238668 938 ebrary|bEBRY|nebr10356365 938 EBSCOhost|bEBSC|n304048 994 01|bSTJ
