About the Forums


Paediatric Strategy Forums are multi-stakeholder meetings in which strategies regarding new drug development are discussed. Each Forum focuses on either a given paediatric malignancy or the development of a class of compounds with regards to their mechanism of action. These scientific meetings are aimed at facilitating prioritisation in order to better meet the needs of patients and to increase feasibility of paediatric developments.

What?
 

A multi-stakeholder Forum where all Stakeholders share information and discuss the strategy of new drug development with regards to their Mechanism of Action (MoA) to address unmet medical needs in a transparent scientific discussion

When?
 

Q1/ Midst/ Q4 every year

Where?
 

2 live Paediatric Strategy Forums – 1 in Europe & 1 in US

 



Why?
 

To share information, to facilitate the development of innovative medicines and ultimately their introduction into the standard-of-care of children with malignancies

Agreement by all involved (industry and academia) based on scientific arguments

Which product, based on current evidence, is considered to have the highest potential to address unmet medical needs 

The sequence in which other available (or emerging) products should be developed or deferred. So that  as soon as a development is completed (either due to futility or efficacy) others are already prepared for evaluation

Engage regulatory agencies in a consolidated effort early in development

Monitoring changes in regulatory submissions and approvals both in Europe and the US (changing from adult-condition based waivers to scientifically and medically relevant waivers)
