Orphalan driving action for rare diseases Orphalan was proud to actively contribute to the event "Accelerating innovation for Rare Diseases: from research to patient access, partnerships & perspectives," co-organized by France Biotech and Institut Imagine in Paris. One of the key highlights of the day was the presentation of the White Paper from France Biotech’s Rare Disease Expert Group, co-led by our France Managing Director, Nolwenn Le Rhun. What’s in our white paper? Bridging the funding gap: Recommendations for sustainable financing models to support rare disease R&D from early-stage research to commercialization Market access & pricing: Proposals for new evaluation methods tailored to rare diseases, ensuring that innovative treatments reach patients faster. Harnessing real-world data & AI: Promoting advanced data-driven approaches to improve drug assessment and reimbursement processes. Stronger public-private partnerships: Encouraging collaboration between biotech innovators, research institutions, and policymakers to drive impact. 🚀 Key Moment: Nolwenn Le Rhun’s roundtable on market Access & data-Driven evaluation Nolwenn moderated an insightful discussion on how data can be better leveraged to support regulatory decisions and improve patient access. The panel brought together key industry and regulatory leaders to address: 🔹 The role of real-world data in complementing clinical trials, particularly when patient populations are small. 🔹 Challenges in regulatory acceptance of AI-driven insights and real-world evidence. 🔹 The need for adaptive pricing models to ensure rare disease treatments remain accessible and financially viable. 🔹 The importance of patient advocacy groups in shaping the future of rare disease evaluation. At Orphalan, we are fully committed to translating innovation into real impact for patients. This event was a key step in pushing for stronger policies and faster access to life-changing treatments.
