FDA and the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation will host a two-day (9/1-2) virtual public workshop entitled “Advancing the Development of Pediatric Therapeutics Complex Innovative Trial Design.” The workshop is intended to discuss opportunities for leveraging complex and innovative trial designs, understand the challenges with their applications, and develop solutions on how challenges in the designs can be overcome. Specifically, the workshop will focus on two topics — **bridging biomarkers in pediatric extrapolation** and **Bayesian techniques in pediatric studies**.
