German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
Region (source):
Region (target): English (United Kingdom)
German term or phrase: nach den Erkenntnissen der medizinischen Wissenschaft
Trials cannot be carried out in children unless it is expected that satisfactory findings will not be obtained from trials in adults:
Die klinische Prüfung an Erwachsenen darf nach den Erkenntnissen der medizinischen Wissenschaft keine ausreichenden Prüfergebnisse erwarten lassen.

This seems to be taken from Art. 40 Para. 4 of the AMG.

Explanation:
- if you would like to consider the "official" English version of AMG:

(see page 73)

If I had not seen this text, I would have suggested
"according to current medical knowledge" or "current state of medical science", but IMO the wording of our Bundesministerium für Gesundheit will work for your translation.

HTH :-)

Thanks for providing the link to the English version of the AMG, and for suggesting including 'current' in the translation of the phrase.
I did use the 'based on' suggested by Sarah instead of 'according to'.

Something like: Based on the findings of medical science, no sufficient test results can be expected from the clinical test on adults.

A slight change to the previous sentence: Based on the findings of medical science, sufficient test results cannot be expected from the clinical test on adults or: the clinical test on adults cannot be expected to provide/render/generate sufficient results.

Of course it should be: provide/render/generate sufficient *test* results.
