CTTI Recommendations from the Antibacterial Drug Development (ABDD) Peds Trial Project

CTTI Project: ABDD Peds Trials

CTTI has released new recommendations to improve the quality and efficiency of research studies used to develop antibacterial drugs for children. In addition, many of the suggested strategies and practices could be applied to streamline clinical trials of other types of drugs and medical devices for children.

These recommendations resulted from a collaborative effort among research sponsors, parents, investigators, clinicians, and regulators from the US and the EMA (European Medicines Agency), who provided practical suggestions for the timing of pediatric trials, streamlining trial design, facilitating informed consent, and fostering global and community partnerships to conduct trials that can improve children’s health.

Webinar Presenters:

  • Sumathi Nambiar, Food and Drug Administration
  • John Bradley, University of California, San Diego
  • Gary Noel, Johnson and Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development

Webinar Objective:

The webinar included practical, evidence-based strategies that can be applied by research sponsors, investigators, and site staff to improve the quality and efficiency of pediatric antibacterial trials.

Learn these tips and more for making your trials more successful:

  • Importance of engaging with regulators early and throughout medical product development
  • Methods of streamlining trial design to decrease burden on sites and families
  • Special considerations for conducting trials with neonates
  • Approaches for improving the informed consent process
  • Ways to increase engagement with healthcare providers

Although developed in the context of antibacterial drug development, many of the recommendations can be applied to improve pediatric clinical trials in multiple therapeutic areas.

Webinar Presenters:

  • John Laschinger, MD, Medical Officer, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, US Food and Drug Administration
  • Jules Mitchel, MBA, PhD, President, Target Health Inc

Webinar Objective:

This webinar covers CTTI's recommendations on conducting clinical trials using registries. Those interested in evaluating or designing a registry for the purposes of conducting clinical trials can learn more about the project’s tools, intended for the following purposes:

  • To determine if an Existing Registry is appropriate for embedding clinical trials
  • To assess if an Existing Registry contains the elements needed to support a clinical trial
  • To design a New Registry suitable for embedding clinical trials
