Clinical requirements children are different from adults and the strategy to implement a pediatric study has many challenges, in terms of ethical, operational, and scientific issues. Working with a uniquely vulnerable patient population provides additional complexity, with numerous regulatory requirements. The authoring of key documents to optimize pediatric drug development for regulatory approval is being integrated earlier in the drug development process. This forum features three speakers who will describe the current regulatory framework and changes in drug development in pediatric oncology, the challenges in safety reporting in pediatric clinical trials. and key documents that outline the strategy for developing a drug in pediatric patients.
Learning Objective : Describe the key regulations governing development of trials in pediatric patients; Describe the structure and required content of a PIP and a PSP; Identify changes in oncology development for pediatric patients and opportunities for scientific collaboration; Identify challenges for accurate safety reporting in pediatric clinical trials.
