Performing drug trials in pediatrics is challenging. In support of the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development funded the formation of the Pediatric Trials Network (PTN) in 2010. Since its inception, the PTN has developed strategies to increase both efficiency and safety of pediatric drug trials. Through use of innovative techniques such as sparse and scavenged blood sampling as well as opportunistic study design, participation in trials has grown. The PTN has also strived to improve consistency of adverse event reporting in neonatal drug trials through the development of a standardized adverse event table. We review how the PTN is optimizing operational efficiencies in pediatric drug trials to increase the safety of drugs in children.
在儿科进行药物试验具有挑战性。为支持《儿童最佳药物法案》,尤妮斯·肯尼迪·施莱佛国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所于2010年资助成立了儿科试验网络(PTN)。自成立以来,PTN已制定策略以提高儿科药物试验的效率和安全性。通过使用稀疏和采集血样以及机会性研究设计等创新技术,参与试验的人数有所增加。PTN还努力通过制定标准化不良事件表来提高新生儿药物试验中不良事件报告的一致性。我们回顾了PTN如何优化儿科药物试验的运营效率以提高儿童用药的安全性。
