Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Trials: Successful Novel Therapeutic Strategies, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

In this free webinar, learn about the evolving field of pediatric cancer treatment. Attendees will gain insight into the key challenges and complexities of pediatric oncology clinical trials. The featured speakers will discuss regulatory considerations needed to manage these trials, as well as patient recruitment and site feasibility strategies. Attendees will learn how patient-centric trial design and caregiver support approaches can increase patient recruitment strategies. The speakers will also share how novel therapeutic approaches can improve clinical outcomes for pediatric oncology patients. 

TORONTO, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Although children constitute 27% of the world's population, at least 50% of all drug products may still lack pediatric labelling. Drugs without appropriate clinical research in pediatric patients significantly increase the risk of unexpected adverse events.

However, with the evolution of pediatric legislation, the pharmaceutical industry has demonstrated a growing commitment to pediatric studies, and renewed interest in therapeutics for rare diseases has increased the demand for timely, high-quality and cost‐effective clinical trials in children.

Despite significant progress in pediatric clinical research, childhood cancer remains a leading cause of death among children. Continued research is crucial for developing new treatments that can improve survival rates and outcomes. Pediatric cancer clinical trials encounter many challenges, especially within today's clinical drug development landscape. These include the need for targeted therapies for children, regulatory delays and design constraints, and gaps in representation and equity within current clinical trial research. Conversely, the infrastructure of cooperative groups conducting clinical trials is excellent in the US and Europe. However, offering studies in other parts of the world where the incidence of pediatric malignancies is even higher and fewer treatments are available remains a major obstacle.

This webinar addresses these key challenges in advanced therapies, including gene and cellular therapies, while offering different and innovative approaches that can be put into practice so that future clinical trials can avoid enrollment challenges and delays in study timelines. Ultimately, this results in the best chance for clinical trial success and better outcomes for patients.

Register for this webinar to learn how novel strategies are transforming pediatric clinical trials in oncology and hematology.

Join experts from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Charity Schuller, PharmD, MS, RAC, Executive Director, Regulatory Affairs, Head of Regulatory Intelligence and Delivery; Mariana Burin, MD, Medical Director, Clinical Research; Marcie Weil, MD, Medical Director, Clinical Research; Sheree Gilmore, Project Lead, Clinical Research; and Sush Sankpal, MD, Medical Director, Clinical Research, for the live webinar on Monday, October 27, 2025, at 11am EDT (4pm CET/EU-Central).
