Abstract:
Vulnerable research participants participating in clinical trials pose certain ethical challenges,and they require special attention from researchers,ethics committees,and management departments.Taking a deaf-mute and illiterate research participants participating in a clinical trial of breast cancer as an example,this paper discussed the ethical considerations regarding the research participants's insufficient capacity for informed consent,as well as the measures taken to ensure their compliance in the clinical trial,further provided ideas for dealing with this type of ethical issues.During the implementation of clinical trials,researchers should assess the level of informed consent ability of research participants,implement the research participants'rights to know and choose,and perform informed consent in a standardized manner.For research participants whose vulnerable factors make it difficult for them to give informed consent,they should not be excessively excluded from the research.Instead,targeted safeguards should be taken to promote the efficient implementation of clinical trials on the premise of complying with various ethical principles.
