SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Over the last two decades, great advances have been made in 
pediatric drug development. In addition, there is a growing recognition 
that complex and innovative trial designs have the potential to 
optimize drug development in small populations. Innovations that have 
been proposed include Bayesian and other methods of utilizing external 
historical information from previous pediatric trials or other 
populations (such as adults), adaptive designs, bridging biomarkers, 
etc. These designs tend to require more extensive discussion and 
collaboration between drug developers and regulators to implement 
effectively.
    The Complex Innovative Trial Design Pilot Meeting Program (CID 
Program) facilitates and advances the use of these types of designs by 
providing for increased interactions between staff in the Center for 
Drug Evaluation and Research and the Center for Biologics Evaluation 
and Research and sponsors accepted into the program. Several pediatric 
study designs have been accepted into the CID Program. This workshop is 
being organized in collaboration with the CID Program.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    The main objective of the ``Advancing the Development of Pediatric 
Therapeutics (ADEPT 7) Complex Innovative Trial Design'' workshop is 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. The 
workshop will specifically focus on two topics of interest: Bridging 
biomarkers in pediatric extrapolation and Bayesian techniques in 
pediatric studies. In addition, the workshop will allow for an open 
dialogue around the use of these approaches among regulators, industry, 
academia, and patient organizations.
