Research Abstract |
In this study, I focus on a controversial case in Japan about a randomized withdrawal trial of antidepressant, and analyze ethical and social issues underlying it. In conclusion, I suggest that there are three major issues to be considered (1) ethical issues in study design, (2) regulation of clinical trials in Japan, and (3) patient participation in clinical trials at the planning phase.
