ACCELERATE, a platform of all stakeholders caring about accelerating new oncology drug development for children and adolescents, organized the 2018 edition of the ACCELERATE Paediatric Oncology Conference on 8-9 February 2018 in Brussels, Belgium.
The conference is part of a unique multi-stakeholder joint initiative; the ACCELERATE Platform. Co-organised by CDDF, ITCC and SIOPE, this platform provides a transparent forum enabling patients and parents organisations, academic paediatric oncologists and haematologists, pharmaceutical companies and EU regulatory network representatives to collaborate and jointly address specific obstacles to faster and more effective treatments for children and adolescents with cancer, including the needed changes to the Paediatric Medicines Regulation.
