Leveraging Genetic Testing for Enrolling Rare Disease Trials

Worldwide Clinical Trials

Written By: Derek Ansel, MS, CCRA, Executive Director, Therapeutic Strategy Lead, Rare Disease Given that 80% of rare diseases have a genetic etiology, genetic implications should be addressed at the onset of a clinical program to support trial enrollment. One diagnostic example that I discussed in my presentation is autism.

10 Key Learnings from Successful Cellular and Gene Therapy Trials for Rare Diseases

XTalks

Approximately 72 percent of rare diseases are genetic, and around 70 percent of rare genetic diseases emerge in childhood. Out of over 7,000 rare diseases, only 5 percent (or less) of rare diseases are thought to have approved treatment options, known as “orphan” therapies. How Can Study Protocols Be More Effective?
