Accelsiors Mission

Pediatric Investigational Plan

Accelsiors is among those very few European CROs that truly understands importance and challenges associated with the development, initial approval and ongoing updates of Pediatric Investigational Plans (PIP).

We are among those rare CROs that had opportunity to plan and conduct very early phase complex PK/PD trials and in same time to work on robust phase III registration trials in different pediatric populations.

If you are looking for an expert in the field Accelsiors will guide you through the current regulatory framework and ethical considerations for designing and conducting pediatric trials in the EU. We will help you integrating pediatric development into your global drug development, always bearing in mind the strategic and the regulatory aspects.

We will provide you with expert analysis of how to overcome the challenges from pediatric trial set up through to effective study conduct that meets regulatory expectations and beyond. We will advise you how to prepare and successfully submit of robust PIPs.
