Bill overview

The Give Kids a Chance Act of 2024 aims to improve the development of cancer treatments for children by allowing the FDA to approve clinical trials that combine existing, standard cancer drugs with new drugs, even if those new drugs are used in combination. This expands the types of drug combinations that can be tested, particularly when one of the drugs is already approved for adults with similar cancers. The bill also requires specific study designs and reporting, and mandates reports from the FDA and the Government Accountability Office to assess the law’s impact on pediatric cancer drug development.
