Data from #PTN studies have contributed to 23 FDA drug label changes. These label changes further our objective of improving dosing and treatments for children by adding information about use in pediatric patients. Read more about our research:?https://lnkd.in/e4SvzmQ2

Making medicines safer and more effective for use in the youngest patients.
关于我们
The Pediatric Trials Network (PTN) is made up of over 100 clinical research sites studying the formulation, dosing, efficacy, and safety of drugs, as well as the development of medical devices, used in pediatric patients. Children are not simply “little adults” who respond to drugs according to scale. Rather, developing organs and changes in metabolism throughout infancy and childhood affect how drugs are processed by immature or maturing bodies. Thus, special care must be taken in tailoring the use of medicines in this unique and vulnerable population.
