“SMi: Why are you attending this conference?

D.L.: We need to get the message out on how important it is to do trials for paediatric diseases. Treating Alzheimer’s disease may improve life for patients for the last few (non-productive) years of their life but intervening in paediatric refractory epilepsy has the potential of making a difference for 60-70 years of life.”

The interview will cover Deborah’s current role; challenges in the field; the main issues in paediatric clinical trials and much more. To download the full interview please visit the downloads tab at www.paediatric-trials.co.uk/prlog

As well as supplying attendees with the latest information on paediatric clinical trials, the 2016 event will provide the opportunity to take part in a full day pre-conference workshop entitled ‘Drug development in the paediatric population’. This pre-conference workshop will give an introduction into the background of paediatric legislation both in the USA and in the EU. It will further discuss the key differences between the adult and the child’s body, and the consequences in different absorption, distribution, metabolisation and excretion (ADME) in the different age groups.
