It has been a real honor to contribute to the conversation around #raredisease registries through the Pulse Infoframe Inc. Patient Advisory Board. Earlier this year, a white paper was released based on those conversations. This month, the poster below was displayed at the #WORLD Orphan Drug Conference, which highlights the many opportunities for making rare disease #registries both more effective for #researchers and more inclusive of the #patient voice.

NCP, an orphan disease that causes pain and sensitivity in the eyes, face, or head, is a large unmet medical need, and the clinical trials of OK-101 are the first to investigate a therapy for it. While the cause is unknown, NCP is thought to result from a combination of inflammation and corneal nerve damage. There are no approved therapies to relieve patients with NCP, and providers are forced to use off-label systemic and topical therapies to help patients find relief.

Last week, we tested your knowledge on the guidelines-based standard of care for treating #CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy), a chronic, progressive condition that may require long-term management. 70% of you picked the correct answer – there are several guidelines-based treatment options for CIDP: corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, and plasmapheresis. The path to diagnosis and treatment can be a long process for people living with CIDP. We’re committed to doing our part for patients and moving science forward. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eM_9wmRe

Perinal fistulas remain a common subtype of Crohns Disease which cause morbidity. Several reasons why perianal fistulas don’t heal. Nicely outlined by Dr Jeff McCurdy at our Great Lakes IBD meeting These include: microbiological, drug (PK/PD), dysregulated immunity, anatomic, and aberrant tissue healing (track epithelialization and impaired tissue repair). One of the issues is that existing therapies typically only 🎯 one of these mechanisms. Glad we have dedicated clinical trials of IL23 inhibitors assessing fistula closure, but we need more programs to address this. #IBD #drugdevelopment #clinicaltrials #clinicaldevelopment

Let’s make #IBDVisible during this Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week. My colleague Marta Plana Ramón shared some interesting insights on the currently approved treatment options to manage Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Today, I wanted to continue that journey and show what is in the pipeline for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by quickly analyzing the number of ongoing and planned interventional, commercially-sponsored clinical trials within the IBD space. An analysis brought to you by Anju Software's clinical intelligence solution TA Scan 📊 #IBD #UlcerativeColitis #CrohnsDisease #DataScience #TAScan
