A Pharmacometrics-Informed Trial Simulation Framework for Optimizing Study Designs for Disease-Modifying Treatments in Rare Neurological Disorders

1:1
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.

ERDERA’s ethics and regulatory experts are launching a dedicated webinar series to help the rare disease research community navigate two fast-moving areas of biomedical research: Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) and Artificial Intelligence.
July 24 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
This webinar will present a theoretical framework for situating ethics across research activities. The framework will then be brought to life through a relevant case study discussion, giving participants a concrete reference point for the episodes ahead.
Held in Riga on 9–10 June, the workshop brought National Mirror Group experts, researchers, clinicians and policymakers together to exchange practical lessons on how national rare disease registries can better support research and alignment across countries.
ERDERA (the European Rare Diseases Research Alliance) has opened its Clinical Trial Call to support multinational early-phase clinical trials in rare diseases. The call will fund studies designed to generate robust clinical evidence, strengthen regulatory readiness and make rare disease trials more feasible across countries.
