Overview

Physicians often find themselves facing a challenging dilemma: how to provide the best possible care for their youngest patients when the toolbox of approved medicines for children remains frustratingly sparse. The issue of off-label drug use in pediatrics looms large, with over 40% of drugs prescribed without evidence based pediatric approvals. In an effort to transform this landscape, significant strides have been taken, such as in the United States through legislative acts like the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA), the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA), and the RACE for Children Act. This course is designed to provide an overview and understanding of the legal, scientific, operational, and participant elements at the heart of pediatric clinical research. Join us to gain insights into the complexities of pediatric clinical trials and the vital role they play. Together, well navigate the intricacies of the regulatory frameworks, pediatric development planning and trial design and ethical, organizational and practical aspects of pediatric clinical trial conduct.
