Office of Drug Evaluation IV: What We Do
The Office of Drug Evaluation IV (ODE IV) includes one division: the Division of Pediatric and Maternal Health (DPMH).
The Division of Pediatric and Maternal Health (DPMH) oversees quality initiatives which promote and necessitate the study of drug and biological products in the pediatric population, and improve pregnancy and lactation-related information in product labeling. The vision of DPMH is, "A world where clinically relevant data facilitate quality healthcare decisions for children and women of childbearing potential." DPMH collaborates with stakeholders both inside and outside FDA to develop clinically relevant, evidence-based labeling and other communications that facilitate informed use of medicines in children and women of childbearing potential.
DPMH will be part of the Office of Rare Diseases, Pediatrics, Urologic and Reproductive Medicine beginning in mid-March 2020.
