SUMMARY:Rare Diseases International-Global Perspectives on Rare Disease Centers: What We Learned from Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:Join RDI for a public webinar exploring how rare disease centers are organized and how they function in practice across different countries and health system contexts. Rare disease centers play a critical role in improving diagnosis\, care coordination\, research\, and access to treatment for people living with rare diseases. Yet\, their structures\, levels of recognition\, funding models\, and integration into national and international networks vary widely. To better understand this diversity\, Rare Diseases International (RDI) conducted a series of qualitative case studies of selected rare disease centers worldwide. This public webinar will present key insights from the case studies. Through a panel discussion with representatives from participating centers\, the session will reflect on shared enablers and barriers and highlight practical lessons learned.

SUMMARY:RealiseD Webinar 4: Enhancing patient-centricity in Rare Disease Clinical Trials
DESCRIPTION:The final webinar focuses on what truly matters: the patient. Rare disease trials often struggle to capture outcomes that reflect patient priorities but RealiseD is working to change that. Rudradev Sengupta\, Senior Trial Design Lead at One2Treat\, will present an approach that embeds patient voices into every stage of trial design and analysis. By using hierarchical endpoints and net treatment benefit\, this framework balances benefits and risks in alignment with patient preferences\, enabling transparent discussions among stakeholders and ensuring that success is defined by what matters most to patients. This is a vital conversation for anyone committed to making clinical research more humane and impactful.

SUMMARY:RealiseD Webinar 3: Single arm\, RCT or something in between – how to enrich clinical trial design and analysis in rare diseases
DESCRIPTION:Single-arm trials remain a cornerstone of rare disease research\, but their limitations and complexities cannot be ignored. In the third webinar\, experts Yulia Dyachkova (Merck Healthcare)\, Jenny Devenport (Roche)\, Cornelia Dunger-Baldauf (Novartis) abd Guillaume Canaud will lead a deep dive into the evolving role of SATs in drug development. The discussion will cover regulatory and HTA perspectives\, review case studies of success and failure\, and explore advanced statistical methods designed to optimise trial design. This session is not just about understanding the current landscape—it is about shaping the future of evidence generation for rare and ultra-rare diseases.

SUMMARY:RealiseD Webinar 2: Evidence Assessment Framework. A need to change mindset from developers\, regulators and HTA
DESCRIPTION:The second webinar turns the spotlight on one of the most critical issues in rare disease research: the generation and assessment of evidence. François Meyer\, a leading consultant in health technology assessment\, will examine why current frameworks often fail to deliver predictable and aligned outcomes\, resulting in delays and inequalities in patient access. The session will explore the global and European initiatives aimed at addressing these shortcomings and present the RealiseD consortium’s efforts to advance scientific and operational solutions. More importantly\, it will advocate for a fundamental shift in mindset—one that embraces flexibility and innovation in the way evidence is generated\, interpreted\, and assessed.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Lymphodepletion for CAR-T/IEC Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Achieving consistent and effective outcomes in CAR T and other immune effector cell (IEC) therapies relies heavily on getting lymphodepletion “right.” Emerging evidence shows that both under- and over-exposure can impact safety\, efficacy\, and long-term persistence\, making optimized dosing strategies increasingly critical as the field evolves. \nThis webinar will explore how model-informed and data-driven approaches can help identify the optimal lymphodepletion exposure window\, improve predictability\, and support more standardized practices across patient populations and treatment centers. Speakers will discuss current challenges\, scientific rationale\, clinical insights\, and practical considerations for implementation.
