IAMRARE Registry Platform Virtual Demo
December 20, 2018
3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Rare diseases present unique challenges for researchers and companies working towards treatments and cures. Small patient populations; Hard to diagnose or delayed diagnosis due to lack of education and understanding among medical professionals; Poor understanding of the natural history of the disease and its progression without intervention; No prior pathways to follow; Clinical endpoints that are often unclear; and enrollment and retention challenges. To address these special needs, NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders) has created a Natural Histories Patient Registry Platform, with extensive input from FDA, NIH, patients, organizations and experts in the field. The IAMRARE Registry Platform is a system that allows organizations to rapidly launch a high-quality, customized registry to collect the data needed to define the natural progression of disease and advance product development.
