Enhancing Patient-Centricity in Rare Disease Clinical Trials

Date & Time 10 February 2026
Location Webinar

Join Our Upcoming Webinar: Putting Patients at the Center of Rare Disease Clinical Trials

Rare disease clinical trials face unique challenges—small, diverse populations make it difficult to capture outcomes that truly matter to patients. In this webinar, we’ll explore how hierarchical (multi-component) endpoints, prioritised by clinical relevance and combined with net treatment benefit, create a patient-centric framework for trial design and analysis. You’ll learn how this approach:

  • Embeds the patient voice into statistical design and decision-making.
  • Balances benefits and risks in alignment with patient preferences.
  • Enables transparent discussions among stakeholders.
  • Captures the totality of evidence to define success by what matters most to patients.

“Don’t miss this opportunity to share your expertise and help shape the future of clinical research in ultra-rare conditions!”
