Series Overview
Knowledge of new medicines for children and clinical research has increased over the past decades. A revolution has taken place in pediatric oncology, where new dosing and new combinations of anticancer drugs developed for adult cancer have made the diagnosis of child cancer no longer an automatic death sentence.
DIA is presenting a Seven-Part webinar series on Pediatric Drug Development, which will start with an overview of the challenges and historical background of pediatric drug development, then proceed to specific discussion of US and EU pediatric legislation, and, in four additional pivotal webinars, discuss technical specificities of dosing in children, particular requirements in pediatric clinical trials, the development of pediatric formulations, and the need and challenges of juvenile animal studies.
Part 2: Regulatory Framework US Overview
In 1997, the first successful pediatric legislation was introduced in the US and reduced the pediatric off label use of medications primarily developed for adults. As part of the FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA), it offered an added period of patent protection to reward pediatric research. It was further complemented in 2003 by the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) that made it a mandatory requirement for pharmaceutical companies to take children into consideration during the drug development process. FDAMA was re-authorized in 2002 as the Best Pharmaceuticals For Children Act (BPCA), and both acts, mandatory PREA and voluntary BPCA, were re-authorized in 2007 under the FDA Amendments Act (FDAAA) that also enacted new pediatric medical device provisions. In 2012 the US pediatric legislation was authorized without time limitation as Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA).
Discussion will go through the US legislation from its beginnings in 1997 to the present situation. The speakers will reflect together the original vision, operational challenges and how the FDA, industry and academia have evolved their ideas and positions over this time period of now already 17 years.
