E xtrapolation to the pediatric population using available data obtained from a reference population is a well-recognized approach to achieve more efficient pediatric drug devel- opment and avoid unnecessary pediatric clin- ical trials. While regulations regarding the use of extrapolation date back to 1994 (1), there are still sig- nificant challenges in the implementation of pediatric extrapolation (2–4). To ensure the "voice of industry" was heard as the regulatory landscape evolved, the Clinical Pharmacology Leader Group (CPLG) of the IQ Consortium (IQ) established the Pediatric Working Group (PWG) in 2011, and it has evolved to be an integral part of the implementation and dissemination of the use of extrapolation as a framework to optimize the develop- ment of therapeutics for pediatric use. The PWG currently consists of 38 members from 24 different organizations, and includes representatives from IQ corporate members, regulatory agencies, and non-IQ member companies to strengthen its diversity in expertise and perspective on pediatric drug devel- opment.
