RDCA-DAP | Critical Path Institute

RDCA-DAP | Critical Path Institute FDA and NIH Launch Public-Private Partnership for Rare Neurodegenerative Diseases Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced the launch of the Critical Path for Rare Neurodegenerative Diseases (CP-RND) – a public-private partnership aimed at advancing the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and fostering the development of treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other rare neurodegenerative diseases. The FDA and NIH have selected the Critical Path InstituteExternal Link Disclaimer (C-Path) as the convener of this partnership. “There is a crucial need to develop new treatments that can improve and extend the lives of people diagnosed with rare neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS. Collaboration across public and private sectors can accelerate the progress to address this urgent need,” said FDA Chief Medical Officer, Hilary Marston, M.D., M.P.H. “The partnership we are announcing today will leverage the shared expertise of all participants to create a path towards new breakthroughs in treating these diseases. We look forward to working with NIH, C-Path, and other public and private partners to carry out this important effort.” “This public-private partnership will convene the entire ALS community to develop novel strategies and approaches to therapy development and clinical testing with the goal to finally produce a treatment that stops the tragic progression of ALS,” said Walter Koroshetz, M.D., director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the NIH. C-Path will convene the partnership, bringing together experts in rare neurodegenerative diseases, including, but not limited to, patient communities, advocacy organizations, and private entities. The direction and priorities for the effort will be determined with input from the partners. Areas of focus will include patient-focused drug development, and utilization of the FDA-funded Rare Disease Cures Accelerator-Data and Analytics PlatformExternal Link Disclaimer (RDCA-DAP) to bring together scientific data on rare neurodegenerative diseases to facilitate the characterization of neurodegenerative diseases and their natural history, the identification of molecular targets for neurodegenerative disease, and increased efficiency, predictability, and productivity of clinical development of therapies. Building on and leveraging the shared expertise of the participants, the goal of this partnership is to generate actionable solutions that can tangibly accelerate drug development for rare neurodegenerative diseases. The Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Act (Act for ALS) was signed into law on December 23, 2021 by President Biden and requires HHS, through FDA and NIH, to establish and implement a public-private partnership not later than one year after enactment. This partnership is a key component of the FDA’s Action Plan announced in June.

Bridging Efficacy and Safety to the Obese: Considerations and Scientific Approaches - 11/09/2022 | FDA

Bridging Efficacy and Safety to the Obese: Considerations and Scientific Approaches - 11/09/2022 | FDA FDA and M-CERSI Announce a Virtual Public Workshop on Bridging Drug Efficacy and Safety to Obese Patients On November 9, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in collaboration with the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (M-CERSI) will hold a virtual public workshop entitled "Bridging Efficacy and Safety to the Obese: Considerations and Scientific Approaches." The purpose of this workshop is to review the implications of obesity in adult and pediatric patients on safety, efficacy, drug dosing and disposition. Besides the major health and socioeconomic implications of obesity, there are great challenges in ensuring the optimal use and development of drugs for the growing population of obese persons. Obese patients are a large segment of the U.S. population and should be included in drug development studies. There are presently no clear dosing guidelines for obese pediatric patients. Although smaller clinical studies have begun to examine drug pharmacokinetics in obese pediatric patients, the relationship between pediatric obesity and drug response, including efficacy and safety, has not been thoroughly elucidated. Advancing this field requires identifying key knowledge gaps and barriers to the conduct of such studies and potential innovative solutions to improve data generation and analysis. Workshop Objectives: Review the implications of obesity in adult and pediatric patients on safety, efficacy, drug dosing and disposition. Discuss: If adult and pediatric patients should be identified and studied as a special population in new drug development programs, and when it may be appropriate to include obese patients in drug development studies to develop specific dosing guidelines for obese patients. Date/Time of the Workshop: Date: November 9, 2022 Time: 8:30 a.m. – 4:15 p.m. This virtual workshop is open to the public; however, registration is required at: https://bioeumd.wufoo.com/forms/m16xw7q80ra8tsz/.
