A new simulation framework leverages pharmacometrics to optimise clinical trial designs for disease-modifying treatments in rare neurological conditions.

The authors present a framework using trial simulations to improve the design of studies targeting rare neurological disorders. By integrating pharmacometric data, the model helps in selecting optimal endpoints and sample sizes to increase the probability of trial success.

A legislative own initiative file in the Parliament’s new public health committee sets out what an EU “rare disease action framework” could look like — and why it could change how Europe measures progress for patients.
European Parliament research service assessment, published in February 2026, identifies 31 measures that could form an EU rare disease action plan, highlighting European Reference Networks and cross-border collaboration including ERDERA as drivers of EU added value.
This study investigates possible measures that could be taken at EU level to address these challenges. It finds significant European added value in harmonising coordination and access across the 27 Member States, mainly in terms of improved diagnostic tools and availability of medical treatment, better health outcomes, particularly lower infant mortality, and improved well-being of family members and caregivers.
28 February, across Europe and beyond: one year into delivery, ERDERA is advancing towards shorten diagnostic journeys and improved therapies for people living with a rare disease.
