SUMMARY:Outcomes and challenges in Spina Bifida: bridging adolescence and adulthood
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores the challenges individuals with spina bifida face from adolescence to adulthood\, focusing on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and urological management. Neurogenic bladder\, a prevalent complication in SB\, often leads to incontinence\, hydronephrosis\, and urinary tract infections\, which may significantly affect quality of life (QoL). Advances in medical and surgical management have reduced the risk of renal failure\, yet continence remains a persistent issue. Drawing on literature on PROMs and urological outcomes\, we examine general health and bladder-specific outcomes\, including tools to examine these. Factors influencing QoL include clean intermittent catheterization\, transition readiness\, mental health\, and social support. Despite multimodal interventions\, incontinence continues to impact daily life. The session highlights the importance of PROMs and multidisciplinary approaches to optimize care and improve long-term outcomes for SB patients.

SUMMARY:Scientific Advancements in Gene Therapies: Opportunities for Global Regulatory Convergence
DESCRIPTION:The Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA\, in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\, will host a hybrid public workshop on “Scientific Advancements in Gene Therapies: Opportunities for Global Regulatory Convergence.” \nGene therapies work by replacing\, silencing\, and/or modifying specific genes within a cell to treat\, prevent\, or cure a disease\, and have been used to treat both inherited diseases such as sickle cell disease and acquired disorders such as leukemia. \nThis public workshop will provide a baseline about the current state of gene therapy interventions\, including approved products and considerations for currently licensed gene therapy products and regulator roles regarding these therapies\, particularly in low and middle income countries; explore the “next generation” of gene therapies and the breadth of where those products might be deployed; and discuss the opportunities and needs for regulatory oversight of these products in emerging markets. Speakers will include patient advocates\, clinicians\, academic researchers\, biotech/pharma representatives\, and regulators.

SUMMARY:The Global Cell & Gene Therapy Summit
DESCRIPTION:Cell and gene therapy represent intersecting fields of biomedical research with the shared goal of treating\, preventing\, or curing diseases. These approaches are aimed at understanding the underlying causes of various diseases\, ranging from rare and complex conditions to those with genetic or acquired origins. This rapidly expanding treatment approach is poised to address significant unmet medical needs across a wide range of conditions. However\, the conceptual framework of cell and gene therapy is both expensive and requires precision\, presenting challenges for industrial implementation and patient accessibility. \nEmerging tools and techniques in the market have facilitated the adaptability and utilization of cell and gene therapy. These advancements have made it easier to employ CGT as a method of treating diseases\, including rare and complex disorders\, single gene disorders\, and various types of cancer. With these advancements in mind\, the International Summit on Cell and Gene Therapy serves as a platform to explore the fundamental concepts of these transformative therapies. The summit brings together experts from academia and industry to discuss a range of topics related to cell and gene therapy\, including ethical considerations\, social implications\, tools\, techniques\, marketing strategies\, and the commercialization of cell and gene therapy products. It also showcases the latest research progress in CGT and explores opportunities for further enhancements in availability and productivity of these therapies. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange\, the summit aims to advance the field of cell and gene therapy\, benefiting patients worldwide.
