Description
Comprehensive knowledge of a disease is essential to the design and conduct of well-controlled, interventional clinical trials. Understanding of the disease state is important for identifying the patient population for a clinical trial, study duration, and selection of clinically meaningful endpoints. Observational studies play an important role in the understanding of rare diseases and facilitating effective development of potential therapies. To support clinical research, observational studies can help define the clinical features of a rare disease, rate of progression, pathophysiology, and…
