Master Protocols, including basket trials and umbrella trials, enable efficiencies in investigating multiple conditions or multiple treatments, respectively, under a single trial design. Applying Master Protocol trial designs to Cell & Gene therapies (CGTs) can streamline clinical and regulatory processes to speed the delivery of treatments to patients with rare diseases.

Learning Objectives

Identify barriers to and solutions for leveraging Master Protocol clinical trial designs to study Cell & Gene Therapies for rare diseases.

Addressing data gaps in drug development, especially capturing patient experiences in both rare and non-rare diseases, is crucial. From Proof of Concept to Proof of Value, integrated evidence planning and incorporating patient voices in Target Product Profile (TPP) creation drive comprehensive evidence generation.

Learning Objectives

Discuss the utility in global drug development context, including post-marketing efforts; Identify strategies to create a patient informed comprehensive Target Product Profile; Recognize strategies outlined in the interactive guide to align PAG and industry efforts in creating a comprehensive Target Product Profile.
