Several strategies can help address the lack of clinical trials in pediatrics:
1. Regulatory Incentives: Governments and agencies can offer incentives such as extended patent exclusivity to encourage pharmaceutical companies to conduct pediatric trials. 2. Ethical Guidelines: Clear and robust ethical guidelines can help parents feel more comfortable enrolling their children in studies. 3. Funding and Grants: Increased funding from public and private sectors can make pediatric trials more financially viable. 4. Collaborative Networks: Creating networks of institutions dedicated to pediatric research can streamline the recruitment process and improve data collection.
