Reminder: Announcing FDA Webinar and Draft Guidance, “Leveraging Existing Clinical Data for Extrapolation to Pediatric Uses of Medical Devices”

On April 30, 2015, FDA published a draft guidance, which provides a framework under which to consider extrapolating existing adult clinical medical device data to evaluate a device’s performance in pediatric patients in pre-market approval applications (PMAs) and humanitarian device exemptions (HDEs). This draft guidance facilitates continued efforts to address the unmet medical device need for pediatric patients.

We will discuss this draft guidance document at a webinar scheduled on Tuesday May 19, 2015. The webinar is intended to help manufacturers and other interested stakeholders understand the information provided in this draft guidance document.
