European Biopharmaceutical Review

Drug development is an arduous process punctuated by go/no-go decisions related to the efficacy and safety of drug candidates. When a new preclinical drug candidate with a reasonable profile of efficacy and safety is identified, it is still uncertain whether this new therapeutic agent will ultimately make its way to the patient and advance human health. In fact, ~90% of all compounds entering clinical trials fail, largely due to safety issues in clinical phases or drug efficacy issues in patients (1).

The Rare Disease Patients Experience
When planning a clinical trial for a rare disease, it is important to have a holistic understanding of your patient population. You want to be aware of where your patients are coming from, and what it is like to walk in their shoes. These patients need your trial just as much as you need them; even from the earliest stages, conceptualize your rare disease trial as an altruistic relationship between the patient population and your study.
