The workshop “Real-world data to document the use of phytopharmaceuticals in children” was organized by the GA Foundation Plants for Health in collaboration with multiple international scientific societies on July 14, 2024, during the International Congress on Natural Products Research in Kraków, Poland. The event focused on leveraging real-world data and real-world evidence to support the use of herbal medicinal products (syn. phytopharmaceuticals) in pediatric care. The workshop aimed to discuss the current state and future approaches for utilizing real-world data/real-world evidence in expanding the use of herbal medicinal products in children and adolescents. Therefore, the workshop highlighted the unmet needs and challenges in documenting the effectiveness and safety of herbal medicinal products in children and emphasized the coordinated exchange and collaboration among academia, industry, and regulatory authorities. After an e-symposium in May 2022 with more than 300 participants and an in-person workshop on this topic in Bonn in June 2023, this workshop in Krakow was the third event of its kind hosted by the Foundation Plants for Health. Participants concluded that interdisciplinary collaboration is highly needed to establish qualified methods of data collection and assessment of real-world data, e.g., establishing requirements to incorporate nonprescription herbal medicinal products into electronic patient records and registries that can be accessed by all stakeholders.

记录儿童草药产品使用情况的真实世界数据 – 克拉科夫研讨会报告

2024 年 7 月 14 日，在波兰克拉科夫举行的国际天然产物研究大会期间，GA 健康植物基金会与多个国际科学协会合作举办了 “记录儿童植物药物使用的真实世界数据” 研讨会。该活动的重点是利用真实世界的数据和真实世界证据来支持草药产品（syn. phytopharmaceuticals）在儿科护理中的使用。该研讨会旨在讨论利用真实世界数据/真实世界证据扩大草药产品在儿童和青少年中的使用的当前状态和未来方法。因此，该研讨会强调了在记录儿童草药产品的有效性和安全性方面未满足的需求和挑战，并强调了学术界、工业界和监管机构之间的协调交流与合作。继 2022 年 5 月举行了有 300 多名参与者的电子研讨会和 2023 年 6 月在波恩举行的关于该主题的面对面研讨会之后，克拉科夫的这次研讨会是健康植物基金会主办的第三次此类活动。参与者得出结论，非常需要跨学科合作来建立合格的数据收集和评估真实世界数据的方法，例如，制定要求将非处方草药产品纳入所有利益相关者都可以访问的电子患者记录和登记册中。
