Regulations in the US and EU require and incentivize the development of pediatric medicines to ensure every new drug is evaluated for pediatric use and studied in this population when appropriate. A key requirement is the submission of detailed plans outlining studies to be conducted as part of the clinical development program and/or waivers or deferrals for such studies. Successful pediatric regulatory strategies can be complex. Differences in regulatory requirements for drugs for pediatric use, including timing, extrapolation of adult data, and use of precedent, present challenges to the development of a robust pediatric global strategy. Knowing these differences is critical to success and avoiding delays in approval that can adversely impact patients. This workshop will provide an overview of the US and EU pediatric drug development regulatory requirements. The key focus will be the application of knowledge by engaging participants through the development of mock pediatric strategies, pressure-testing those strategies with a panel of experts, and identifying regulatory risks and approaches to mitigate those risks.
