Why Take a Course in “Special Consideration in Pediatric Clinical Trials”?
Pediatric clinical trials are important for discovering how the response to investigational products may differ in pediatric populations as compared to adults and are the only way to effectively find new treatments for conditions that exclusively impact children or adolescents. There are many distinctions in how pediatric clinical trials are conducted compared to adult clinical trials, such as understanding differences in children as they mature and how they differ from adults, knowing how to obtain permission and assent to participate from the family, modifying study procedures for a child’s unique needs, understanding barriers to a parent or guardian wanting their child to participate, realizing the differences in regulatory requirements, and more.
