Children wait years for drugs because adult trials come first, even when the target belongs to a childhood cancer. Some drugs should start with children.
Paediatric oncology drug development is usually a downstream obligation, with paediatric plans triggered by adult programmes. For fusion-driven and developmental-lineage targets such as ALK in neuroblastoma, NTRK fusions, H3K27M-altered glioma and specific sarcoma fusions, the disease biology is paediatric and adult data add little. A paediatric-first pathway with matched incentives would compress timelines by years.
