Pharmaceutical companies working in rare diseases rely on innovative partnerships to strategically develop their drugs in this challenging space. Count on our rare disease and pediatric team to provide critical expertise to advance your rare disease drug candidate to market.
Boost your rare disease patient enrollment
Patient access, recruitment and retention can be challenging in any trial but are uniquely difficult issues when working within rare diseases. Don’t let this hurdle stand in the way of developing your rare disease therapeutics. We utilize powerful analytical solutions such as Xcellerate® Clinical Trial Optimization® and access timely, real-world Labcorp diagnostic lab result data, global Central Labs investigator performance data and patient Intelligence input that enable us to deliver faster patient enrollment and enhanced patient retention. In addition to this data, our strong relationships with leading advocacy groups, fit-for-purpose tools to support and educate study teams, sites, patients and their families, and dedicated, passionate and experienced recruitment and retention team make us the right partner to bring your product to market faster.
Work with us to help improve your study’s visibility and credibility to create patient-centric solutions that reduce recruiting risks and maintain your program's momentum.
Leverage expertise and accelerate orphan drug development
Rare diseases are often poorly understood from a clinical perspective, highlighting the need for innovative study planning strategies. Our experts can help direct your rare disease clinical trial to yield more relevant results with an efficient study design that evaluates your desired outcomes and incorporates validated endpoints. Enable the development and collection of key clinical data in your studies with our innovative tools and approaches including biomarker discovery/development, mobile health, virtual natural histories and virtual trials.
With us as your partner, you’ll access a unique combination of dedicated rare disease therapeutic area expertise alongside comprehensive operational support to assist with every aspect of your global study. Together, we’ll develop robust study planning strategies that anticipate regulatory hurdles, navigate clinical complexities and accelerate your path forward.
Maximize your commercial potential
Even though orphan drugs address urgent unmet medical needs, understanding market impact is still crucial to maximizing your investment in an orphan indication. By evaluating payers, providers and patients, we can generate real-world, value-based evidence that helps you determine pricing and set your market access strategies.
Work with a team that combines medical, scientific, operational and economic expertise with extensive clinical trial experience to enable your rare disease clinical program and enhance your potential for a higher valuation and return on investment.
