Rare Disease Dilemmas and Solutions
Filling the Knowledge Gap for Better Patient Outcomes

October 26 2023 | 4:00 – 5:00 PM CET

Climedo Connect_Rare Disease-1

Thursday, October 26 2023 | 4:00 – 5:00 PM CET 

What are the challenges posed by rare diseases and how can we address the essential needs of patients while navigating these conditions across all clinical phases? By leveraging the power of Quality of Life (QoL) data, personalized treatment algorithms and Real-World Evidence, we can build a comprehensive approach to managing these conditions effectively.

In our next Climedo Connect on October 26, Domenico Merante and Henrik Schou of CSL Vifor will present their insights and expertise on how advancements in technology, data analysis and evidence-based strategies can reshape the landscape of rare disease management and close important knowledge gaps. They will share practical examples of how the integration of these elements can offer innovative solutions to the challenges faced by both rare disease patients and healthcare professionals. Join us as we discuss:

  • Rare disease challenges, patient needs and opportunities
  • The importance of QoL data, treatment algorithms and RWE for patient outcomes
  • Best practices in rare disease data management during clinical development and in the post-approval phase
In addition to the presentations, you will have the chance to join various live surveys, network with other professionals and, of course, ask our experts any questions you may have. Registration is free of charge and all registrants will receive the slide deck and recording afterwards.
