Abstract
Pediatric legislation has generated information about the efficacy, safety, and dosing of more than 600 products in children. Extrapolation of adult efficacy data has been an integral part of pediatric drug development. Advances in our understanding of physiology and pharmacology have improved the approach to pediatric dose selection. However, a high percentage of pediatric trials do not meet their primary efficacy endpoint. Delays in initiating completing pediatric studies persist. This article describes these advances and provides innovative approaches to optimize pediatric drug development.Entities:
