Basket Clinical Trials of Drugs Targeting Shared Molecular Etiologies in Multiple Rare Diseases

Published by NIH

EtiologyClinical Trial

NCATS seeks to facilitate rare diseases research by enabling efficient and effective movement toward clinical trials in multiple rare diseases. The purpose of this NOFO is to provide support for basket clinical trials of drugs targeting shared molecular etiologies in more than one rare disease, and in the process to identify and overcome challenges in adapting the oncology basket trial model to rare diseases. Projects proposed for this NOFO will require individuals with expertise in carrying out clinical trials in rare diseases. Applicants are expected to collaborate with clinical investigators at academic institutions. Projects involving clinical investigators who are part of the Rare Disease Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) and which focus on diseases under study in the RDCRN are strongly encouraged. See https://www.rarediseasesnetwork.org/ for additional information.

Clinical Studies of Orphan Products Addressing Unmet Needs of Rare Diseases

Published by NIH

Clinical Trial

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to fund clinical trials of products evaluating efficacy and/or safety in support of a new indication or change in labeling to address unmet needs in rare diseases or conditions. Additionally, through the funding of collaborative, efficient, and/or innovative clinical trials, FDA expects to increase the number of approved treatments for rare diseases and exert a broad and positive impact on rare disease drug development.

NeuroNEXT Small Business Innovation in Clinical Trials (U44 Clinical Trial Optional)

Published by NIH

Clinical TrialInvestigational Medicinal ProductRare diseases

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages small business applications for exploratory clinical trials of investigational agents (drugs, biologics, surgical therapies or devices) that may contribute to the justification for and provide the data required for designing clinical studies. Diseases chosen for study should be based on the NINDS strategic plan and clinical research interests (www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/areas/index.htm).

Successful applicants will be given access to the NeuroNEXT infrastructure. Following peer review, NINDS will prioritize and order trials that are given access to the NeuroNEXT infrastructure. The NeuroNEXT Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) will work with the successful applicant to efficiently implement the proposed study. The NeuroNEXT Data Coordinating Center (DCC) will provide statistical and data management support. The NeuroNEXT clinical sites will provide recruitment/retention support as well as on-site implementation of the clinical protocol.

Applicants do not need to be part of the existing NeuroNEXT infrastructure.

Interaction of the stakeholders and multilateral education at an early stage of development will facilitate drug development (e.g. ensuring outcome measures for clinical trials are developed that are meaningful for patients, are acceptable to the regulators, and are acceptable to payers)
