The future of rare disease clinical development is being shaped by regulatory innovation and adaptive trial designs, emphasizing the need for operational strategies to tackle challenges like limited patient populations and complex endpoints. Advances in artificial intelligence and global patient recruitment are also key to enhancing the development process.

Rare disease clinical development is evolving rapidly, fueled by regulatory innovation, adaptive trial designs, artificial intelligence, and a more global approach to patient recruitment. Yet success depends on more than scientific advances, it requires operational strategies that address limited patient populations, complex endpoints, and scarce natural history data. She has leveraged her regulatory expertise to support a wide variety of therapeutic treatments (small molecules, antibodies, recombinant proteins, cell and gene therapies, drug/device combination products) designed to treat a broad array of diseases and conditions (hematology, oncology, autoimmune, ophthalmic, cardiovascular, endocrine, pulmonary, CNS, anti-viral, metabolic, dermatology, rare diseases, etc.). Through opportunities working with healthcare organizations on content strategy, writing, speaking, clinical trial development, and sharing the patient experience she aims to affect the healthcare landscape by raising awareness of rare diseases, promoting self-advocacy to patients, and valuable insights to organizations. Jonathan Kornstein is Vice President of Rare Disease and Pediatrics at Caidya, where he leads teams delivering clinical trial services tailored to the unique challenges of rare disease and pediatric development.
