Joint EFGCP & DIA - Better Medicines for Children Conference

FROM DEVELOPMENT TO ACCESS: What is currently done in Europe to enhance access to medicines for children? How are stakeholders working together?

Overview

This conference is a yearly event organised by the EFGCP Children Medicines Working Party in collaboration with DIA and Regulators to take stock of the progress achieved in the paediatric field after ten years of Paediatric Regulation

This year’s conference focuses on what could be done to optimise children’s access to new medicines.

“Access” can be broadly defined as:

  • Inclusion of paediatric patients into clinical trials
  • Health authority approval of a new medicine and
  • Children’s access to a medicine that has been approved by regulators.

Conference Features:

  • Keynotes by Francoise Grossetête, Member of the European Parliament, and Andrzej Rys, Director of Health Systems and Products, European Commission
  • Interactive breakout sessions for participants to actively engage in identifying innovative solutions to address access issues specific to paediatric subpopulations, such as adolescents, or neonates.
  • Q&A session with members of the EMA Paediatric committee (PDCO), moderated by Dr Dirk Mentzer (PDCO chair) will help understand PDCO specific activities and priorities, and address questions from the audience.
  • NEW! Poster Session where presenting authors of the winning posters will have the possibility to publish an abstract of their work in “Therapeutic Innovation & Regulatory Science” magazine.
