Companies often delay the childhood cancer studies they are required to do. A slice of the adult drug's revenue would be held back until the paediatric trial is completed.
Under the US RACE for Children Act and EU Paediatric Regulation, companies must plan paediatric studies for molecularly relevant cancer drugs, but deferrals and waivers are common and completion lags years. A rule would place a small percentage (for example 2%) of adult sales into escrow from launch, released on completion of the agreed paediatric study or forfeited to a paediatric oncology trials fund after the deadline. This aligns commercial interest with timely paediatric evidence without new appropriations.
