BC Children's Hospital Launches Clinical Trials Super Hub with Community Support

- BC Children's Hospital has launched a clinical trials super hub to improve pediatric treatments, addressing the gap in clinical trials for children. - The initiative is supported by community fundraising, including over $4 million raised at the Crystal Ball 2024, and spearheaded by families like the Hoskins. - Simon Hoskins, an eight-year-old with Morquio syndrome, is a key advocate, raising awareness and funds for the hub to find new treatments and cures for pediatric diseases. - The super hub aims to build infrastructure, expertise, and capacity, with a dedicated team already in place, to make pediatric clinical trials more viable and effective.
