The House of Representatives unanimously passed the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids A Chance Act on Monday, a bipartisan measure to expand children’s access to cancer therapy trials and spur development of pediatric treatments. The bill reauthorizes NIH funding for pediatric disease research through FY2027 and extends the FDA’s authority to expedite review of certain pediatric drugs; it is named after teen advocate Mikaela Naylon, who died from osteosarcoma.
