FDA has announced a 9/25 public workshop on “Facilitating Anti-infective Drug Development for Neonates and Young Infants” to discuss the scientific challenges with developing such products. Discussions will focus on challenges related to enrolling neonates and young infants in clinical trials, strategies to assess central nervous system penetration of the drug, including nonclinical and *in vitro* data, potential development pathways, and the role of clinical trial networks in anti-infective drug development, according to an [agency notice](https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-19336.pdf?ref=fdaweb.com).
