ALADDIN

We’ve got great news for you – the ALADDIN Online Portal is now up and running!

The educational portal aims to deliver knowledge that will ultimately advance drug development to improve outcome and reduce side effects for children and adolescents with cancer.

The first webinar of the Training Course “Introduction to paediatric oncology drug development & current challenges” was held on 25 April. 152 participants attended this first session, which was packed with interactive exercises! You can now watch the recording on the portal.

Webinars, articles, videos, infographics, and a library of external resources await you.

JOIN THE FAIR WORKING GROUP

Research into teenage and young adults’ cancer has made slower progress than for any other age group. One reason is that many clinical trials exclude patients under 18 – without medical justification.

The ACCELERATE Working Group on Fostering Age Inclusive Research (or FAIR Trials) was established to confront this problem.
