When these conditions are met, extrapolation can reduce or eliminate the need for dedicated pediatric efficacy trials, facilitating more efficient pediatric drug development. In this paper, we examined US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pediatric drug approvals in neurology, analgesia, and psychiatry from 2014 to 2025 that utilized exposure matching to support extrapolation approaches. We identified 33 unique drug products that successfully implemented pharmacokinetic-based exposure matching strategies across neuropsychiatric indications. Population pharmacokinetic modeling emerged as the predominant strategy for pediatric dose optimization, incorporating developmental considerations such as allometric scaling and enzyme maturation functions. FDA General Advice Letters proved instrumental in facilitating adoption of complete pediatric extrapolation approaches, demonstrating the critical role of regulatory guidance in expediting pediatric drug development. Case examples spanned broad age ranges, from mechanistically informed neonatal applications utilizing enzyme maturation modeling (risdiplam) to adolescent populations where adult dosing regimens proved adequate (brexanolone, nipocalimab). Additionally, pharmacodynamic biomarkers were pivotal in pediatric extrapolation of eculizumab and nipocalimab efficacy for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis, highlighting promising future directions for the field. These cases demonstrate how achieving comparable pharmacokinetics and, when necessary, pharmacodynamics profiles between adult and pediatric populations can support efficient regulatory approval without dedicated pediatric efficacy studies.

In this White Paper, we explore how information about newly approved drugs is generated, disseminated, and interpreted. We examine the information needs of healthcare professionals, patients, and payers and the influence of regulatory standards on available evidence. Focusing on regulated communication channels, such as prescription drug labeling, medication guides, and clinical trial snapshots, we highlight the foundational role of regulatory agencies in setting evidence standards and legitimizing drug information. We also consider alternative information sources, including pharmaceutical advertising, which coexist with regulated content. Against a backdrop of increasing uncertainty of drug approval evidence, we identify documented principles that regulators can adopt to meet drug information needs.

Key barriers include timely generation of robust predictive biomarker hypotheses (i.e., hypotheses regarding treatment-by-biomarker interactions), appropriate validation strategies, and coordinated development of companion diagnostics within increasingly complex FDA, European Medicines Agency, and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation regulatory frameworks. This review presents a pragmatic operational framework to guide the incorporation of precision medicine into drug development across therapeutic areas. We outline structured approaches for early biomarker hypothesis generation and prephase II evidence development; define five clinical development scenarios based on the strength of the biomarker signal—front-loaded enrichment, precision-medicine-enabled phase II, adaptive phase II, adaptive phase III, and back-loaded confirmatory enrichment; and summarize regulatory and lifecycle considerations for companion diagnostics. Examples from oncology and emerging applications in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases illustrate evolving regulatory expectations and common industry challenges. We also discuss opportunities to extend precision medicine beyond predictive biomarkers to diagnostic, prognostic, and safety biomarkers, as well as digitally derived signatures. Treating precision medicine as a core component of drug development—rather than an optional enhancement—can improve clinical trial efficiency, support commercial viability, and ensure that patients derive meaningful clinical benefit.
