About PTN
Only a small percentage of drugs and devices approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are labeled for pediatric use. Pediatricians, consequently, must often prescribe medical therapies “off-label,” or according to their best guess based on adult studies. The PTN studies such drugs and shares results, data, resources, and information for pediatricians and researchers, as well as parents, family, and caregivers of children involved in pediatric clinical research studies.
The PTN provides resources and consultations for pediatric clinical
researchers who are outside of the Network.
