Those who conduct pediatric trials are well aware that children are not just small adults.
What dosage form to use… what are the negative effects of taste-masking… what additional tests will a child need that may affect the quality of life… how long will the treatment be safe and effective as the child grows?
These are just a few of the challenges trial sites face.
Lisa Benson, BS, CCRP, CRCP and Janelle Allen, BS, MS, CCRP — both of the Institute of Advanced Clinical Trials for Children — will discuss how to be successful when dealing with the differences and challenges faced while conducting pediatric clinical trials. Over the course of 90 minutes they'll help attendees understand how to:
- Develop study budgets specific to pediatric clinical trials, including recruitment and administrative costs attendant to pediatric trials
- Identify the challenges faced when conducting pediatric clinical trials, such as:
-Pediatric tactics of assent and consent
