RESUMEN
Recientes epidemias de enfermedades infecciosas desatendidas (EID) traen a colación problemas existentes como el poco desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos por parte de la industria farmacéutica. Se genera así poca o nula oferta de medicamentos contra dichas enfermedades. Dentro del proceso de globalización, la industria farmacéutica viene desarrollando una estrategia multinacional para nuevos medicamentos según su interés en los países en vías de desarrollo. Dado que el tema tiene repercusiones en los aspectos económico, ético, político y de derechos humanos, se busca ampliar el conocimiento sobre el proceso de ejecución de ensayos clínicos (EC) sobre EID en Perú. Materiales y Método. Se revisaron 1493 EC autorizados en el Perú entre julio de 1995 y junio 2015. Cada uno de los títulos correspondientes a las EID autorizadas fue verificado según el código del proyecto que figura en la página web del Instituto Nacional de Salud. Resultados. En los 20 años evaluados, se autorizaron 17 EC y 2 estaban en proceso de autorización. Los hallazgos representaron 1,3% del total de los protocolos autorizados; es decir, 0,95 estudios clínicos sobre EID por año de estudio. La razón EID/no­EID fue 1/78. Los EC en EID realizados en Perú correspondieron a cisticercosis, leishmaniosis, estrongiloidiasis, dengue, fiebre amarilla y geohelmintiasis, entre otros parásitos, como criptosporidiosis. Conclusiones. Entre julio 1995 y junio 2015, en Perú hubo un escaso número de ensayos clínicos sobre nuevos medicamentos contra las enfermedades infecciosas desatendidas; esto es responsabilidad de quienes están a cargo de desarrollar nuevos medicamentos. En consecuencia, las personas que requieran dichos medicamentos tendrán poco o nulo acceso a ellos...
ABSTRACT
Recent epidemics of neglected infectious diseases (NTD) bring up some existing problems such as underdevelopment of new drugs by the pharmaceutical industry and national states. Little or no supply of medicines against such diseases is thus generated. Within the process of globalization, the pharmaceutical industry has been developing a multinational strategy of developing new drugs according to their interest in developing countries. Since the issue has repercussions in the economic, ethical, political and human rights aspects, it seeks to expand knowledge on the process of implementation of clinical trials (CT) on NTD in Peru. Materials and Method. EC authorized 1493 were revised in Peru between July 1995 and June 2015. Each of the titles to the authorized EID was verified by the project code contained on the website of the National Institute of Health. Results. In the twenty years evaluated, they were authorized 17 CT and two others were in the process of authorization. The findings represented 1.3% of total authorized protocols; i.e., 0.95 clinical trials on clinical trials per year of study. The EID/no­EID reason was 1/78. The CT on EID performed in Peru accounted for cysticercosis, leishmaniasis, strongyloidiasis, dengue, yellow fever and geoheliminthiasis, among other parasites such as cryptosporidiosis. Conclusions. Between July 1995 and June 2015, in Peru there was a small number of clinical trials on new drugs for neglected infectious diseases; this is the responsibility of those in charge of developing new drugs. Consequently, people who require these drugs have little or no access to them...
