I-ACT for Children to Hold First Annual Pediatric Research Innovation Forum

I-ACT for Children will host its first annual Pediatric Research Innovation Forum on Oct. 15-16 in Bethesda, Md.

Each year, this meeting will tackle an important issue in the field of pediatric clinical trial research, as part of our commitment to innovation, quality and urgency in advancing medical therapies specifically for children.

This inaugural forum will focus on the bioethical, scientific and operational issues related to the inclusion of adolescents in adult clinical trials that are designed to assess the efficacy and safety of investigational drugs.
