SUMMARY:RareKids-CAN: Logistics of ATMP Workflows for Pharmacy Teams
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide a practical\, high-level overview of how pharmacies handle Advanced Therapeutics Medicinal Products (ATMPs). ATMPs\, such as gene therapy products\, significantly differ from the traditional therapies (i.e.\, small molecule drugs\, biologics\, etc.). Therefore\, pharmacies require tailored workflows from the initial storage\, documentation and handling\, \, as well as chain-of-custody consideration.

SUMMARY:RareKids-CAN: Navigating Advanced Therapies in Paediatric Rare Disease: An Introduction for Patients and Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the first in the series organized under Key Initiative 1.3 of the RareKids-CAN strategic priority\, ‘Strengthening Pediatric Rare Disease Clinical Trial Capacity and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product Readiness’. It provides a practical introduction to Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) for patients and caregivers. The session will explain what ATMPs are\, how they work\, how they differ from traditional medicines\, and the types of advanced therapies currently available or being studied. Participants will also learn how to assess what developments may be relevant to their condition\, find clinical trials and other credible information\, and start conversations with their healthcare team about emerging therapies
