BDA PAEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY WORKSHOP IN
COLLABORATION WITH ITCC AND ENCCA
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM
5-6 DEcEMbEr 2011
There is a major need for new and effective oncology drugs for children and adolescents with cancer that will not only increase
their chances of survival but also their quality of life. The objective of the European Union Paediatric Regulation, introduced in
January 2007, was to improve the health of children in Europe by:
Facilitating the development and availability of medicines for children aged 0 to 17 years;
Ensuring that medicines for use in children are of high quality, ethically researched and authorised appropriately;
Improving the availability of information on the use of medicines for children.
In 2011, ENCCA, an EU-funded Network of Excellence, was launched to structure clinical and translation research in paediatric
and adolescent oncology in Europe.
This Workshop will:
share recent advances in the field of paediatric oncology;
evaluate the impact of the EU and US regulations on paediatric oncology;
propose solutions to identified bottlenecks and hurdles.
All stakeholders will participate: Academia, Parents and Patients, Pharma Industry, European Medicine Agency, EMA Paediatric
Committee, Government bodies and Members of the European Parliament.
The goal of the meeting is to provide an action plan in order to increase the likelihood that children and adolescents with cancer
will benefit from both the EU Paediatric Medicine Regulation and EU funded structuring activities.
The meeting will be published in European Journal of Cancer as a position paper.
