Lie et al. argue in favour of an alternative international consensus position which considers that it is ethically justifiable to conduct a trial in a developing country without providing the best worldwide standard of care, as long as: (i) there is a valid scientific reason and the treatment being evaluated is less costly or simpler; (ii) there is a clear social benefit for the developing country, and (iii) benefits outweigh the risks for the individual.
