Program Description:
It is important to engage pediatric patients and families during the planning of pediatric trials to ensure that studies are appropriately designed, balancing the regulatory requirements for adequate data with the impact of trial participation upon the patient and family. Common risks to clinical trials, slow enrollment, and lack of compliance and poor retention can be mitigated with study planning that incorporates feedback from pediatric patients and families. Why do patients provide assent and parents give permission for clinical trial participation? What concerns do parents have about clinical trials and what types of questions do they need answered? How do we best provide information to patients and families about the clinical research and the specific clinical trial? Questions such as these should be considered and addressed during study planning stages.

Upon completion of this Webinar, attendees should be able to:
  • Understand the value that pediatric patients and families can bring to the pediatric trial planning process.
  • Identify best practices in engaging pediatric patients and families.
  • Identify pertinent topics to discuss with pediatric patients and families during the study planning process.
