Pediatrics

Accelerating the development of safe and effective treatments for children and adolescents

Leverage our deep understanding of the diverse populations—spanning preterm infants to adolescents—to guide your pediatric research.

Address the needs of pediatric patients and their families across your development journey with our extensive regulatory, medical and operational expertise.

Speed up your pediatric drug development plan with our best practices to efficiently enroll adolescents and young adult populations into your pivotal trials.

Pediatric patients and their families are at the center of all we do.

Participating in a pediatric trial requires a huge commitment not just from a patient, but also their family. That’s why our pediatric experts at Fortrea work to develop tailored solutions that address specific study considerations, minimize the burden of the participation and support successful study conduct.

At Fortrea, we share your passion to make a difference in patients’ lives. You’ll get a partner that:

Understands the nuances of pediatric research
Offers longstanding experience designing, planning and conducting pediatric programs
Delivers the collective knowledge of 34 pediatricians and more than 2,400 employees experienced with pediatric populations

Together, let’s address the inherent challenges of pediatric studies and navigate the best path ahead.

Experience matters when choosing a partner.
