The number of rare disease clinical trials increases every year. Not only are these trials getting more and more complex, but the mode of administration is often very challenging. In December 2023, the FDA released its guidance document entitled Rare Diseases: Considerations for the Development of Drugs and Biological Products. The comments from the FDA on the importance of engaging patients, caregivers, and their advocates in the drug development process is something we take very seriously at Worldwide.
