What is a paediatric clinical trial?
Paediatric clinical trial is a study conducted in paediatric patients, i.e. children and adolescents from 0 to 18 years of age. Generally the paediatric clinical trial needs to be tailored to the patient group as well as to the disease and therapeutic area. When designing a paediatric clinical trail, it is also important to consider each paediatric class, since children are not small adults and respond very differently to medicines at various ages and stages of their development.
