Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Technical Summary

Background: Rare diseases are defined based on their low incidence, less than one in 2,000. Whereas randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are currently the gold standard for drug evaluation, there is still no general validated approach for the assessment of (orphan) drugs in this field.|Objectives of the CRESim (Child-Rare-Euro-Simulation) project: To develop a platform performing trial modelling and simulation in order to identify optimal trial designs in children for the evaluation of (orphan) drugs tailored to different types of rare diseases.|Methods: In silico approach using RCT modelling and Monte Carlo simulation, implemented for different categories of rare diseases in pediatrics. Several RCTs with different experimental designs will be modelled and simulated, and the different designs will be compared in terms of trial duration and precision of the estimation of the treatment effect.|Expected Outcomes: Improvement and optimization of the development of new orphan drugs.|Dissemination of results: Dissemination will target those involved in drug development (i.e pharmacologists, therapeutic specialists, methodologists and statisticians), and in drug registration (public health decision makers), and registration authorities (EMEA and national agencies).
