Advancing the Development of Pediatric Therapeutics: Application 
of ``Big Data'' to Pediatric Safety Studies; Public Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Pediatric Therapeutics, Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA), is announcing a public workshop entitled 
``Advancing the Development of Pediatric Therapeutics (ADEPT): 
Application of ``Big Data'' to Pediatric Safety Studies.'' The purpose 
of this 2-day workshop is to understand how to access and analyze ``Big 
Data'' associated with safety information in the health care setting, 
and the utility and challenges associated with the use of ``Big Data'' 
to study the safety of therapeutics in children.

DATES: The public workshop will be held on September 18 and 19, 2017, 
from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for 
registration date and information.

ADDRESSES: The public workshop will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton 
Hotel, 8727 Colesville Rd. (Route 29), Silver Spring, MD 20910.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Renan A. Bonnel, Office of Pediatric 
Therapeutics, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    Large volumes of data in the context of the health care industry 
have the potential to provide additional information related to 
medication use, which may affect the benefit-risk assessment of 
medicines in general and pediatric medicines in particular. Since 
pediatric pharmacoepidemiologic studies tend to enroll fewer patients 
than adult studies, additional information may be needed to better 
understand the safety and efficacy of use of these drugs in children. 
``Big Data'', including forms of real world evidence that may involve 
large and complex data sets, may be particularly useful as a supplement 
to traditional studies. Supplementary information may include 
additional clinical trial data, registry data, and electronic health 
record information.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    In this workshop, FDA will gather information on the latest 
developments in ``Big Data'' from the perspective of a number of 
stakeholders and expand the conversation to include the utility and 
challenges associated with the use of ``Big Data'' in the pediatric 
setting. Day 1 will focus on national and international uses of ``Big 
Data'' in health care. Day 2 will focus on ``Big Data'' utility in the 
pediatric setting, including specific challenges associated with 
pediatric data.
