Why do we need Symba
Up to 95% of the medication used to treat chronically-ill children, depending on age group and disease area, is not approved for use in children (off-label). In disease areas such as cancer, epilepsy, and arthritis – not to mention for rare diseases, there is hardly any clinical data for children and paediatric use.
​
The collection of real-world data (RWD) and patient/parent reported outcome measures (P/PROMs) is becoming more and more established in areas of adult treatment and it is supported by international regulatory bodies (FDA and EMA). However, collecting RWD and PROMs have not yet been considered for paediatric care, even though the lack of clinical data in paediatrics makes P/PROMs and RWD even more valuable.
​
Symba is tackling this problem and helps collecting RWD in paediatrics.
