SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Since 2014, FDA has hosted an annual public workshop focused on 
Advancing the Development of Pediatric Therapeutics (ADEPT). The ADEPT 
Workshops offer opportunities for stakeholders to meet to discuss 
challenging scientific issues related to pediatric product development 
and pediatric regulatory science. The primary aims of ADEPT Workshops 
are to:
    <bullet> Discuss advancements in pediatric therapeutics 
development;
    <bullet> Identify gaps in current knowledge and explore innovative 
approaches to address those gaps; and
    <bullet> Provide a platform for open dialogue between regulators, 
industry, academia, and patient organizations.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    The specific topics for discussion at this workshop include, but 
are not limited to, the following:
    <bullet> identifying common challenges in neonatal and rare disease 
product development;
    <bullet> discussing ethical considerations relevant to neonatal and 
rare disease product development;
    <bullet> identifying opportunities to leverage rare disease tools 
and strategies for neonatal conditions; and
    <bullet> discussing the regulatory landscape of rare disease 
programs/resources and their application to neonatal conditions.
