Scheduled for Thursday, May 16, 2019, "Pediatric Ontogeny: Ready for Incorporation into Modeling in Pediatric Drug Development?" aims to address the incomplete information available on the ontogeny of several relevant physiologic systems in pediatric patients as it relates to predicting drug dosing in this population.

| Location: | National Institutes of Health Natcher Conference Center, Kirschstein Auditorium 9000 Rockville Pike Bethesda, MD 20892 |
About the Event:
Modeling and simulation can reduce the numbers of pediatric patients to predict drug dose and effect, but such predictions rely on solid information on the ontogeny of the systems that interact with the new drug.
The objectives of this workshop are to:
- Review the present state of knowledge of the ontogeny of systems critical to drug dosing and effect in pediatric patients.
- Discuss whether our knowledge of ontogeny of specific systems is adequate at the present time to make pediatric dosing and effect predictions through modeling and simulation.
- Identify pathways forward for acquiring the additional information needed for incorporating ontogeny into modeling and simulation predictions for pediatric new drug development.
