Where the challenges of small patient populations and varied symptoms don't hinder progress but inspire a new approach to clinical studies. This is the mission at the heart of RealiseD, and ½ðºÌÓéÀÖ³Ç are proud to be part of this project which is funded by the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) and will run until 2029.</p><p>With millions of people worldwide living with a rare disease, and many of these conditions being ultra-rare, the need for new treatments has never been more urgent. Yet, the path to developing these treatments is fraught with obstacles, from enrolling participants in clinical studies to navigating fragmented regulatory frameworks. That's where RealiseD steps in, with the aim of transforming the paradigm of clinical studies for rare and ultra-rare diseases.</p><p>But how, you might ask, can such an ambitious goal be achieved? The answer lies in collaboration and innovation. RealiseD is not just another research project; it's a comprehensive, collaborative effort to overhaul how clinical studies are conducted for the rarest of diseases. By bringing together experts from every corner of the healthcare ecosystem - academia, regulatory bodies, clinical research institutes and hospitals, patient organisations, and pharmaceutical companies – RealiseD is working to craft new gold standards for clinical trials in rare and ultra-rare diseases.</p><p>So, what can we take away from the ambitious mission of RealiseD? It's a reminder that in the face of daunting challenges, collaboration and innovation can light the way forward. It's a call to action for all of us in the healthcare industry to support and participate in efforts that push the boundaries of what's possible. And most importantly, it's a beacon of hope for the millions of people living with rare diseases, a promise that they are not forgotten and that the future holds the promise of new treatments.</p><p>The journey of RealiseD is just beginning, but its vision is crystal clear: a world where every rare disease is recognized, researched, and treated. ½ðºÌÓéÀÖ³Ç is proud to stand together in support of this noble mission, because we think that the impact of RealiseD will resonate for generations to come.</p><p>To stay updated on the progress of RealiseD and learn more you can visit their new website by clicking <a href="https://realised-ihi.eu/">here</a>.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1910" hreflang="en">innovation</a> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1352" hreflang="en"> innovation </a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1628" hreflang="en"> clinical research</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1323" hreflang="en"> clinical trials</a> </div> <div> <div class="comments-wrapper"> <div class="comment-area"> <h2 class="red">Leave a Comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=15410&amp;2=field_newsroom_askexpert&amp;3=ask_expert" token="vsnoFmjzfJtWR_Y2HyRejPujDyAaTb5g8ytPMNvXbiU"></drupal-render-placeholder> <span class="toggle-form js-toggle-form"></span> </div> <div class="comment-wrap" data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-43699"> <span class="block">Comment:</span> <div id="comment-43699" class="comment"> <span class="name-date"> Posted by <strong><span lang typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype>Andrea Wilkinson </span></strong>, 28 February 2025 </span> <div class="comment--body"> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__items"> <p>So proud to hear of your contribution to this important global initiative to drive changes in EU that we can all learn from!
