	Pediatric Oncology Studies
		Because of the high toxicity of many oncology drugs and the difficulty in extrapolating efficacy and safety from adult experience to children, it is particularly difficult to predict which drugs might prove too toxic for use in pediatric patients and which warrant further study.
		Because approval for oncology drugs will generally occur at the end of phase 2 under subparts E or H, information from phase 3 studies would generally not be included in a Written Request and would not be required for a grant of pediatric exclusivity.
		However, because phase 3 pediatric oncology studies are generally the postapproval standard of care for children with various malignancies, we have provided the general characteristics of phase 3 pediatric oncology studies, which most likely are undertaken in conjunction with a cooperative group as part of such standard of care.
