KIDS V CANCER Information

Kids v Cancer promotes the development of novel pediatric cancer therapies by identifying structural impediments at key junctures in the clinical development and commercialization process and developing strategies to address them IMPACT Some 2% of all bills introduced in Congress are passed into law. We have successfully authored and championed 2. Creating Hope Act: There have been over $4 billion in pediatric vouchers created for drug development expressly for seriously ill kids since 2012 when the Creating Hope Act rare pediatric disease voucher program was passed. RACE for Children Act: Now, 80% of all newly approved cancer drugs that could be studied in children have plans in place for pediatric studies. Before RACE for Children Act in 2017, that number was close to zero. We also built a compassionate use access program and a post mortem brain tumor tissue program.
