The RACE for Children Act

Supporting sponsors to get more paediatric oncology drugs to market

Paediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in the US. The intent of the RACE for Children Act is to get more paediatric oncology drugs in the pipeline.

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with oncology departments must adhere to the Research to Accelerate Cures and Equity for Children Act (The RACE for Children Act) which requires that studies and investigations involving products that treat adult cancer must also assess the use of those products in children.
