New agenda released for Paediatric Clinical Trials event returning to London in 2017

After 10 successful years of running, SMi’s 11th annual Paediatric Clinical Trials event will be heading back to London, UK in March 2017.

Strengthening strategies in paediatric investigation plans remains paramount and with the EMA 10 year review of paediatric regulation a call has been made for greater guidance with the goal of increasing the number of safe paediatric therapeutics on the market.

SMi’s 11th annual Paediatric Clinical Trials conference will gather leading industry experts discussing current clinical trials, implementation, paediatric drug development and the complexities of paediatric drug formulation. This is your best opportunity to reach the largest assemblage of participants from the Paediatrics community!

The packed agenda will include hot topics on methods to improve clinical recruitment, ethical issues and regulations when planning and executing a paediatric clinical trial.

The 11th annual event highlights:
• Gain an in-depth update from the EMA on the PDCO’s 10 year review into paediatric investigation plans
• Review and discuss paediatric clinical trial legislation in the EU and US
• Join GSK in reviewing the challenges in paediatric drug development for rare diseases
• Hear Roche discuss how clinical outcome assessments can lead to patient - centred paediatric clinical trials
