Thursday 16th May 2024Paediatric Medicines: New and Innovative Development ApproachesRoyal Society of Chemistry, LondonDevelopment of paediatric formulations is linked to many challenges related to safety, efficacy, acceptability and patient adherence. The latter is a major challenge often dismissed in studies that particularly focus on the safety and efficacy of medicines. In addition, adherence can vary depending on the formulation and route of administration e.g. oral, parenteral, inhalation, etc…
This symposium focuses on integrated approaches across academia and industry to address challenges in the development, safety and efficacy of paediatric formulations and includes the key themes below:
- Safety of paediatric formulations
- Challenges in paediatric drug delivery and clinical trials
