How Does BPCA Complement Other Pediatric Legislation?
The BPCA works in conjunction with the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA), another critical piece of legislation aimed at improving pediatric drug studies. While the BPCA provides incentives for voluntary studies, the PREA requires that certain new drug applications include pediatric study plans. Together, these two acts create a more comprehensive framework for ensuring pediatric medication safety and efficacy.
