Clinical trial failures in rare diseases aren’t due to bad drugs; they’re due to bad data, underpowered study designs and archaic recruitment strategies. The result? Years lost. Millions wasted. And patients are left waiting or worse, never receiving potentially lifesaving/changing therapies.
In this webinar, the featured speakers will explore why over half of rare disease randomized control trials fail before results are published and how a next-gen model of data normalization, intelligent cohorting and workflow-native activation can cut trial durations and reduce costs. This session will be beneficial for sponsors and CROs ready to ditch the spray-and-pray trial model and move toward precision-built studies that start faster, run leaner and leave no patient behind.
Register for this webinar to learn how to overcome common pitfalls in rare disease trials using a data-driven, precision-focused approach.

What You Will Learn
Attendees will:
- Understand why over 50% of rare disease trials are discontinued or unpublished and how to prevent it
- See how using normalized clinical data can cut site activation and cohorting time by months
- Learn how a rare-disease-optimized trial model can improve enrollment rates and reduce screen failures
- Discover how plugging into workflow-native tools can win requests for proposals and save $50K+ per underperforming site avoided

Regarding the recording: I think it would be easier with Ediz’s schedule if we could pre-record and provide it to you. But i’ll need you to let me know when you would need that by. He can make a decision off of that. I’ve cc’d Ediz so you have his email and our life science product marketing manager, Meghan Berdelle.
