A European Perspective Dr Bruce Morland Chairman United Kingdom Children’s Cancer Study Group (UKCCSG) New Agents Committee
Challenges • Access to new drugs alongsidenotafter adult Phase I/II development • New European Legislation “Better Medicines for Children” expected 2004 • Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Doctors and Dentists Exemption (DDX) - and likely impact on academic drug development programmes
