Despite great unmet need in paediatric Heart Failure (HF), there have been limited advantages in drug innovation. Pharmacological treatments are generally based on off label use of adult drugs and paediatric specific regulatory guidance in HF as in other areas is limited. The global incidence of paed HF is difficult to estimate due to the lack of standardized definition and the heterogeneity of HF amongst all paediatric age cohorts. It is therefore important to bring all interested stakeholders in early collaboration to guide the strategic planning and clinicla trial designing in this area. We explore how the development of a disease specific guidance advocates emerging innovations to shape decision making for future paediatric HF drug developments.
