CELT's Community of Practice; Long-acting therapeutics for maternal and paediatric health

4 June 2025, online

Session Topic: TBC

Significant gaps currently exist in the development of new medicines for women of child-bearing age and children, compared with the general adult population. This gap could expand further with new treatment modalities like long-acting therapeutics. Additionally, the extent of breastfed infant exposure through breast milk is largely unknown.

The overarching aim of this community of practice (funded by global health agency Unitaid) is to catalyse the development and availability of long-acting therapeutics of value for maternal and paediatric health globally, including in low- and middle- income countries.

This will be achieved through the following specific objectives:

Engaging relevant stakeholders in academia, clinical practice, pharmaceutical industry, regulators, women and patient groups
Synthesise evidence-based perspectives on best practices for long-acting therapeutics
Disseminate outputs from the community of practice for uptake by the wider community.

There are 9 meetings for the community of practice in 2025 (2 full community of practice meetings online (one has already occurred), 1 in person workshop and 6 shorter webinars (one has already occurred)). The next online session will be held on Wednesday 4 June, 2025.

To join the Community of Practice and this webinar, please fill in this Expression of Interest form to receive an invite link.

We will use this Events page to keep you updated on the remaining events, so please check back. Members are welcome to join the community of practice at any point.
