Biologics Studied and Not
Studied in Children*
T
o identify biologics that have been studied, were being studied, or
were planned for study in children, the Institute of Medicine com-
mittee examined several sources of information about biologics that
were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) between Janu-
ary 1, 1997, and December 31, 2010. FDA supplied the list of biologics for
products now regulated by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
(CDER). For the biologics that are regulated by the Center for Biologics
Evaluation and Research (CBER), the committee relied on a website list-
ing of biologics for which some supporting documentation was available.
CBER staff were consulted to help the committee identify any relevant
omitted products and exclude products that were approved under new drug
applications (NDAs), were not being marketed, or were not new products.
As explained in Chapter 8, the committee excluded preventive vaccines
and nontherapeutic biologics such as assays and reagents (e.g., products
used for blood testing or blood grouping). In addition to excluding prod-
ucts approved before 1997, it also excluded products that were approved
under new drug applications, were not approved for marketing in the
United States, were not being marketed as of December 31, 2010, or were

not new products.1 The final list included 96 biologics. Of these, 57 were
regulated by CDER and 39 were regulated by CBER. This appendix reports
information from the labeling of these products and from a government
registry of clinical trials.
Although the committee excluded vaccines for its more extensive analy-
sis, it conducted a less intensive review of information on pediatric studies
and labeling for vaccines. It identified 55 vaccines with supporting informa-
tion that CBER had posted at http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/
ucm133705.htm. The vaccines listed include approximately 20 that appear
to have been approved before 1997.
A number of vaccines (e.g., vaccines for rotavirus and combination
vaccines for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) are labeled for pediatric use
only. Of the 55 vaccines listed by CBER, three products (5 percent) were
not labeled for pediatric use, had waivers of pediatric study requirements,
and also did not have pediatric studies registered at ClinicalTrials.gov.
• An adenovirus type 4 and type 7 vaccine (no brand name) was
developed under contract with the U.S. Department of Defense
and approved by FDA in 2011 for use with military personnel ages
17 to 50 years; an earlier product had been used by the military
beginning in the 1980s and ending after the sole manufacturer
stopped manufacturing the product (Schrager, 2011). FDA waived
the pediatric study requirement because studies were impossible or
impracticable (Malarkey and Baylor, 2011).2
• An anthrax vaccine (no brand name) was approved in 1970 for use
by individuals ages 18 to 65 years who are at high risk of exposure
to the disease. In a 2008 approval for a new dosing interval and
route of administration, FDA waived the pediatric study require-
ment on the grounds that studies were impossible or impracticable
because the pediatric population is not at high risk of exposure
(Sun, 2008).
• A herpes zoster (shingles) vaccine (Zostamax) was approved by
FDA in 2006 for use by individuals 60 years of age or older. FDA
waived the requirement for pediatric studies because the product
1 The original approval dates and marketing status for biologics are not always easily de-
termined. It is possible that one or more of the products listed had an original approval date
prior to 1997. After the release of the prepublication manuscript at the end of February 2012,
study staff determined that two products (Peginterferon alfa-2B; ribavirin [Pegintron/Rebetrol
combo pack] and methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera]) were not marketed
as of December 31, 2010, and that one excluded product (drotrecogin alfa [Xigris]) was not
discontinued until 2011. Tables D-1 and D-2 were revised to reflect this information. These
revisions did not affect the report’s overall conclusions.

did not offer a meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing prod-
ucts and was unlikely to be used by a substantial number of chil-
dren (Baylor, 2006).
In addition, FDA waived pediatric studies (without explanation) in ap-
proving a vaccine (Twinrix) for prevention of hepatitis A and B (Richman,
2007). For this product, however, ClinicalTrials.gov lists pediatric studies
(see, e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00107042). For an intradermal
formulation of an influenza vaccine (Fluzone), FDA waived pediatric stud-
ies because the product did not offer a meaningful therapeutic benefit over
existing products and was unlikely to be used by a substantial number of
children (Sun, 2011). ClinicalTrials.gov also lists pediatric studies of this
product (see, e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00391391).
For the biologics including in the committee’s more extensive investiga-
tion, the committee consulted the current product labeling for references to
pediatric studies; examined approval letters, if available, for references to
required pediatric studies; checked FDA’s tracking database for postmarket
study requirements and commitments for required studies; and searched
ClinicalTrials.gov. ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry of publicly and privately
supported clinical trials that is administered by the National Institutes of
Health.
Table D-1, which groups CDER- and CBER-regulated products to-
gether, summarizes pediatric information found in the manufacturer’s prod-
uct labeling. This information includes any pediatric use(s) for which the
product is labeled; descriptions in the labeling of pediatric studies of the
product (including studies that did not demonstrate efficacy); and, espe-
cially for any products without such labeling information, any warnings
against pediatric use based on FDA or other analyses of adverse event re-
ports or similar data. Information relevant to use of a product by pediatric
populations may be located in several sections of the structured label (e.g.,
in sections on dosage, clinical pharmacology, and adverse reactions as well
as in the highlights section that now appears at the start of prescription
labeling). This can complicate efforts to find and summarize this informa-
tion. Most of the review of labeling occurred in July and August 2011.3
Table D-2 summarizes information about pediatric studies registered at
the ClinicalTrials.gov database. It first presents the information for CDER-
regulated products and then presents the information for CBER-regulated
3 After the release of the prepublication manuscript, study staff determined that Table D-1
should be revised to categorize two products (basiliximab [Simulect] and digoxin immune
Fab [DigiFab]) as labeled for pediatric use. Some other summary information was edited for
specificity. These revisions, based on reexamination of the manufacturer’s labeling, did not
affect the report’s overall conclusions.

products. For this table, products in certain classes (e.g., intravenous im-
mune globulins) that are often treated as interchangeable for certain uses
were grouped together because database entries often did not identify stud-
ied products by brand name. Trials for which the lower end of a participant
age range was 16 years are not included. The database was checked from
July to December 2011.
The brief summaries in the trials database were sometimes incorrect in
indicating that a trial included children, particularly when the more detailed
trial descriptions did not include an overview description of the age range
but did make clear in the inclusion or exclusion criteria that only adults
were eligible. These brief summaries could also be misleading about the
condition to be studied, for example, by specifying transplantation rather
than transplantation-related complications or disorders. A study catego-
rized in the database as a Phase IV study, particularly one requested under
the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act or required under the Pediatric
Research Equity Act, might also fit the definition of a Phase I, II, or III
study.

a For the hepatitis B immune globulin products, none of the pediatric study listings involving
this type of product cited either brand name.
NOTES: For age, n/s indicates a study for which the trial description did not state age explic-
itly but included children’s hospital sites or had inclusion criteria or other information text
that indicated the inclusion of pediatric patients (e.g., references to trial patients <10 kg).
For trial phase, n/s indicates that the phase was not specified in the description. Search terms
included a combination of the generic “biologic name AND children” or the “trade name
AND children” to capture all registered studies that used that agent. Some biologic agents
that are often treated as interchangeable have been grouped together by their generic name
(e.g., immune globulin intravenous). For each product that has relevant studies for the class
of drug, at least one study identifies that brand name. The listings for each product may not
be exhaustive of trials for the same condition, age group, and phase.
