Special needs populations

Please describe planned study population. Choice of participants should be appropriate for the indication proposed. Subjects should not have enrolled in a clinical trial during the preceding 12 weeks. Please describe how special populations such as women of childbearing age, children and the elderly will be handled in this study. Please comment on the special need for close monitoring due to safety considerations. 

Some animal studies indicate that dietary exposure to methyl parathion causes decreased humoral and cellular responses (Shtenberg and Dzhunusova 1968 Street and Sharma 1975). A more recent, well-designed animal study that included a battery of immuno/lymphoreticular end points showed few effects at the nonneurotoxic doses tested (Crittenden et al. 1998). No adequate studies are available in humans to assess the immunotoxic potential of methyl parathion. Therefore, studies measuring specific immunologic parameters in occupationally exposed populations are needed to provide useful information. Further studies are also needed to investigate the mechanism for methyl parathion-induced immunotoxicity since this information would help to identify special populations at risk for such effects.

Last but not the least, this law regulates the basis of the comprehensive law for health, which refers pharmaceutical activity to special legislation, placing it under the discipline and control of the relevant ministries so as to guarantee the defence and protection of health, the meeting of the population s needs and the rationalisation of the consumption of drugs. 

The Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) seeks to improve and expand access to quality healthcare for all. The agency employs about 2000 individuals in the nation s capital and 10 regional offices. Considered as the access agency of the DHHS, the administration assures the availability of quality healthcare to low-income, uninsured, isolated, vulnerable, and special needs populations. HRSA seeks to eliminate barriers to care and health disparities. It also works to assure quality of care, improve public health, and improve healthcare systems.
