Little Journey - 17

The Problem

According to the FDA, 25-40% of paediatric clinical trials fail to establish data to determine the safety and effectiveness of the study intervention. This leads to off-label or unlicensed paediatric prescriptions - reported to be as high as 79% and 35% respectively. Trial failure is in part explained by the inherent complexities of running a paediatric clinical trial - including challenges in recruitment, adherence to trial protocol and retention of participants.

 

Paediatric clinical trial challenges

Poor recruitment
$1200 - average cost of a failed recruitment

Early withdrawal
20% of patients withdraw from clinical trials

Low adherence
50% adherence to prescribed medication

Delays
80% of clinical trials are delayed

Lost revenue
$8M lost in revenue each day a trial is delayed
