For The Consortium

CTSA Consortium Child Health Oversight Committee - Pediatric Drugs and Devices

Description:

The CTSA program currently includes almost 40 pediatric programs with several major children's hospitals in the United States.  This consortium will provide a unique platform to provide rapid and effective implementation of device and drug investigations in children.

The overarching goal is to develop a platform that is not limited to a single discipline, but that is interoperable with other research programs to maximize flexibility, leverage resources, and ensure scientific excellence, ethical integrity, and regulatory compliance in order to provide safer and more effective therapeutics to children.

Some of the planned approaches are: 1) to select or develop outcome assessments that are objective, interpretable, clinically informative, and acceptable to regulatory authorities in all regions; 2) to harmonize regulatory requirements across individual institutions and to set up a consortium to increase subject recruitment and facilitate protocol implementation; 3) to harmonize and align informatics to conform with international standards; 4) to select or develop consistent terminology that would ensure unambiguous implementation and interpretation of data.
