It is not about the *inattention* to the rules, the death is because not following the clinical study protocol and enroll the child who has not met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Rules and regs did not hinder to follow the protocol in this case. Here the responsible people are the investigator who was not properly trained to follow the protocol's inclusion and exclusion criteria and the sponsor. It is a sad story, not an interesting story.

Read, if you haven't, "The Constant Gardener". Or see the DVD. Or follow Nigeria's suit against Pfizer. Don’t forget Africa as a place for clinical trials.

I suspect it will only get more interesting as it develops. Sometimes rules & regs get cast as hindrances to doing science. But this story is a good example of how *inattention* to the rules can actually hinder research. We've blogged it over at the Research Ethics Blog: http://www.researchethics.ca/blog/2008/11/indian-vaccine-trial-halted-over-infant.html Really interesting story.
