FDA/CDER's Small Business and Industry Assistance (CDER SBIA)

Pediatric Clinical Investigator Training; Public Workshop The FDA Office of Pediatric Therapeutics, and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development are announcing a 2-day public workshop entitled “Pediatric Clinical Investigator Training.”
The purpose of this workshop is to provide investigators with training and expertise in designing and conducting clinical trials in pediatric patients that will lead to appropriate labeling. Although we have learned a lot about conducting pediatric trials over the past two decades, there are still challenges that need to be addressed. The training course is intended to provide investigators with:
(1) A clear understanding of some of the challenges of studying products in the pediatric population, including: Pediatric study design, neonates, biomarkers, endpoints, orphan drugs and rare disease trial design, formulations;
(2) an overview of extrapolation as it relates to the pediatric population; and
(3) an overview of ethically appropriate methods related to the design of clinical trials in the pediatric population.
The public workshop will be held on September 12 and 13, 2016, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration to attend the workshop should be completed by September 6, 2016.
