The WHO and the International Maternal Paediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Network (IMPAACT) support greater inclusion of pregnant women and breastfeeding in clinical trials and call for all stakeholders to accelerate research in pregnancy for new HIV agents. During the satellite, WHO and IMPAACT will present a new toolkit for research in pregnancy and breastfeeding, that provides access to guidance, research documentation (e.g. protocols, case report forms, etc) and other resources relating to the inclusion of pregnant and breastfeeding women in clinical and research studies and surveillance programmes. The satellite is aimed at research networks, national HIV programmes, affected communities, innovator companies and regulatory agencies so that interested parties can openly access, use and adapt the resources to their needs and support optimal antiretroviral drug choices in pregnancy.
