18 Conclusion Trial feasibility Small set of items results in high number of complete datasets (TREAT-NMD, UMD-DMD) Surveillance method of data collection in restricted area results favors prevalence studies (MD STAR net) Many items from large groups of patients is challenging (MDA, Remudy, Duchenne Connect) Patient registries facilitate trial participation

36 Global Patient Registries Feedback to the public Newcastle 30 October 1 November 2013

37 Global Patient Registries. Feedback to the public Current methods to monitor DMD patient information (MD STARnet, DuchenneConnect, and TREAT-NMD) do not yet provide patients with comparative outcome data... The CF patient registry allows for reporting of standard outcomes across clinics and is associated with improved CF outcomes A similar patient registry is under development for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) clinic network. Suggested metrics for quality care include 1) molecular diagnosis, 2) ambulatory status and 3) age at loss of ambulation, 4) age requiring ventilator support, and 5) survival Newcastle 30 October 1 November 2013

41 Conclusion- Improving Care Combine patient registries and CTSR to evaluate present and future standards of care. introducing site visits? Stimulate improvement by publishing (on paper/website) current standards of care natural history data patient experiences

42 Improving treatment for Neuromuscular Disease Registries: 4. Post-marketing Patient Clinical Disease Standards New Drugs of Care Registries: Registries: -Cardiac -Respiratory 1.Trial Feasibility 3. -Rehabilitation (Natural) History 2.Trial Recruitment Standards -Drugs of Care Pharmaceutical Industry Gene Protein Improve treatment Researchers Physicians

43 Product specific postmarketing surveillance registries Postmarketing surveillance strategies are becoming a necessary part of an orphan drug manufacturer s responsibilities Biopharmaceutical companies spend many millions of dollars per year implementing and maintaining surveillance registries for their own products Problems arise when there is more than one registry for the same disease, e.g. Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) Lots of fragmentation without any data being shared Data is frequently incomplete Lack of transparency

44 Post-Marketing Surveillance Industry new drug Optimal Care Natural history study (database) Patient Registry Clinical Trial Site Newcastle 30 October 1 November 2013

45 Disease specific postmarketing surveillance registries Disease specific registries will allow a centralised platform to be utilised for each product Economy of scale, better reporting to regulators and the wider NMD field, better buy-in from dedicated and experienced clinicians, reliable longer-term effectiveness data Independent governing board

46 Conclusion Post-marketing Over 50 countries involved in global registries involving more than10,000 patients worldwide Patient registries together with CTSR can identify clinical centers for high-quality post-marketing surveillance. Clinical trials, natural history studies and multidisciplinary care often concentrate in the dedicated centers. A global database for natural history data would ease starting post-marketing surveillance for new drugs
