ICH guideline E11A on pediatric extrapolation - Scientific guideline

This guideline provides recommendations for harmonised approaches for paediatric extrapolation to support the development and authorisation of paediatric medicines. It provides a framework for using extrapolation as a tool to support paediatric drug development that encompasses an iterative process for understanding the existing information available, the gaps in information needed to inform development and ways to generate additional information when needed.

Please note that a case example has been generated to help contextualise the main document and further inform the public consultation process.
