We help clinical research organisations convert, retain, and engage paediatric participants through better trial experiences and tailored preparatory support.
The problem
According to the FDA, 25-40% of paediatric clinical trials fail to provide data on the safety or efficacy of the study intervention. Lack of safety or efficacy data means the study intervention can’t be labelled as safe to use in paediatric settings. This often leads to high rates of off-label (79%) or unlicensed (35%) paediatric prescriptions.1
Recruitment, protocol adherence, and participant retention all affect the success of a paediatric clinical trial.
