Model-informed drug development in rare diseases

This collection on rare diseases has been assembled to provide a snapshot on the power and utility of systems thinking in rare diseases. Contributing authors have presented thought leadership on various topics such as Bayesian information borrowing, external controls, methods of data pooling across a variety of similar mechanisms, but also the choice of endpoints and clinical trial considerations that leverage natural history of diseases. They collectively present a snapshot on what is possible in rare disease development.
