It is widely recognised that the conduct of collaborative clinical trials across multiple Member States has been seriously impeded by the EU Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC) and there is real potential for this to be reversed by the proposed EU Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR).

The most common principal objective of children's cancer trials is treatment optimisation using well-established chemotherapy drugs and the introduction of new, safe and effective innovative medicine in standard care. These trials are non-commercial, sponsored and conducted by academic institutions and funded by public money and/or charity support to cover the trials' organisational structures.

To mark International Childhood Cancer Day, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and EP Rapporteur of the CTR proposal, Glenis Willmott, will host an event on 20^th February 2013 to discuss key issues in the legislation that affect not only paediatric oncology but also other disease areas affecting children and young people. Members of the European Medicines Agency’s European Network for Paediatric Research (EnprEMA)  will join SIOP Europe, the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) to discuss how to enhance and optimise paediatric clinical research through the EU Clinical Trials Regulation.
