Session 5: Making Innovative Infrastructure for Pediatric Product Development a Reality
Session Chair(s)

Edward Connor, MD, MS
- Professor Emeritus Pediatrics, Microbiology, Immunology, Tropical Medicine

A major gap in the development of innovative drugs for children has been lack of a sustainable pediatric-focused clinical trials infrastructure. Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in making such infrastructure a reality on a global scale. This session will cover the challenges in execution of regulatory-grade clinical trials in children, public-private initiatives that are now being implemented in the US and Europe to address these challenges, and a view of the innovative capabilities and resources available to facilitate planning and execution of pediatric clinical trials.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Understand new and innovative opportunities for addressing the practical challenges in pediatric drug clinical trials
- Gain working knowledge of the major public-private initiatives, resources, and capabilities available to assist in planning, feasibility assessment, and execution of pediatric clinical trials
