Respiratory rare disease trials come with challenges ranging from the demand placed on sites and patients to managing multiple vendors and ensuring diversity. Achieving success in respiratory rare disease trials requires a flexible approach, a strong emphasis on site selection and key opinion leaders (KOLs) with a deep regulatory understanding.
Join this webinar to hear from subject matter experts (SMEs) on their insights into developing and evaluating rare disease trials in multiple respiratory indications, and learn strategies to overcome obstacles that arise in the clinical development, testing and regulatory approval of treatments for rare diseases.
