The new Pediatric Medical Research Unit will test new medicines to treat children and adolescents with serious illnesses.
Only 30% of all medicines are approved for children. A new pediatric medicine unit will have the capacity to set up clinical trials across all pediatric diseases so that Mary Elizabeth's Hospital is ready to accept trials of new medicines so that all children with rare diseases can receive the same treatment as adults.
Because conducting clinical drug trials requires large capacity and a strong infrastructure, many clinical trials at Rigshospitalet are currently rejected due to a lack of staff and infrastructure.
The donation from the Foundation for Mary Elizabeth's Hospital now makes it possible to gather and strengthen the area with more skills and resources. The unit's work will result in new medicine being tested on children and made available to a wider range of children.
