PAEDIATRIC INVESTIGATIONAL PLANS

In the last decades, the need to facilitate children access to new medicinal products has considerably influenced drug development. Physicians and drug agencies have stressed the need for children to have access to new treatments adapted to their age, weight, and physiological development.

Drug development in the paediatric population is therefore an important challenge to the pharmaceutical industry due to additional constraints to the overall plans, mainly in the nonclinical and clinical programmes, drug formulation and overall planning.
