The Center for Pediatric Early-Phase Trials serves as a resource to investigators, helping them to navigate (in partnership with the Center for Pediatric Clinical Research Training, Education and Engagement) the review and approval processes of early-phase trials, as well as engaging the expertise of cores and shared resources in order to enhance efficiency and quality of early-phase trial planning and execution. 

The Center also serves as the home of faculty expertise for early-phase pediatric clinical trial design and conduct, providing consultation and mentorship, as well as enabling collaboration and knowledge-sharing. The Center fosters collaboration among Johns Hopkins All Children’s clinical and laboratory investigators, and with external collaborators.
