Within the Solve-RD project, EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe, initiated the Community Engagement Task Force (CETF) – a multi-stakeholder community of patients, scientists and clinicians to support the needs of undiagnosed and recently diagnosed patients and leave a legacy of a strengthened undiagnosed community. This task force has created an infographic setting out the patient journey to…
Meet the team behind c4c! We are a diverse group of people from many different backgrounds, but all of us are working towards a common goal: better medicines for children through European clinical trials. Today’s spotlight is on Sabah Attar, from the University of Liverpool.
Due to an increase in multicentric paediatric clinical trials after 2007 following the EU Paediatric Regulation, there has been a substantial increase in the number of feasibility questionnaires (FQ). Paediatric clinical trial conduct has made unique advances through the conect4children (c4c) pan-European network, funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI2). We examined the role of…
Due to the Paediatric Regulation in 2007, the number of paediatric clinical trials within Europe has substantially increased. Consequently, potential sites for paediatric clinical trials were overrun by trial opportunities, infrastructure pressure and their limited experience. To support sites and facilitate research, the pan-European network conect4children (c4c) was established and funded by the Innovative Medicines…
Between 50 and 96% of drugs prescribed to neonatal and paediatric populations are used off-label, creating a clear need for clinical pharmacology studies and subsequent labelling. Key to the successful future of paediatric drug development is creating a collaborative community of professionals focusing on neonatal/paediatric clinical pharmacology. Offering the opportunity for students to participate in…
