Areas covered There are at least three different types of registries: patient registries, disease registries, and product registries. Patient registries recruit rare disease patients, potentially including several rare diseases within a registry, while disease registries can be considered a subset of patient registries which focus on specific diseases. Product registries focus on specific drugs. These registries may be used to conduct research that is specifically requested by a regulatory authority, they may be developed by a drug company to monitor the use of a particular drug or may be developed for public health monitoring purposes. Expert Opinion Compared to other sources of real-world data (RWD), such as electronic medical records (EMRs) and claims data, registries are more likely to have a correct diagnosis and more specific information about RDs. However, registries also have their challenges. Competition between registries may lead to missing or incomplete data. Registries could also have limited information on drug and medical history, which are better captured in EMRs or claims. Nevertheless, registries remain an important source of RWD in the rare disease space and are increasingly being leveraged to comply with regulatory requirements.","PeriodicalId":12118,"journal":{"name":"Expert Opinion on Orphan Drugs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44313414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phase 3 LAVENDER trial showed improvements in efficacy measures compared with placebo, but diarrhea rates were high in trofinetide-treated participants. To manage possible diarrhea, recommendations that can be used by health care providers are needed. Research design and methods Additional analyses were conducted on LAVENDER data to elucidate predictors of trofinetide-associated diarrhea. A panel of advisors was convened to refine a set of practical recommendations for the prevention and management of diarrhea in individuals with RTT treated with trofinetide. Results No examined demographic or treatment factors appeared to influence trofinetide-associated diarrhea. Advisors recommend establishing baseline bowel activity and providing caregivers with diarrhea management information. On initiation of trofinetide, constipation medications should be stopped or reduced, concomitant liquid medications with sugar alcohols should be substituted if possible, and fiber should be initiated. Bowel movements should be tracked and loperamide started following the onset of diarrhea. Dietary and hydration measures are also recommended. Conclusions Trofinetide treatment confers improvements in RTT-related symptoms. With these recommendations, diarrhea associated with trofinetide use can be managed, enhancing the lives of individuals with RTT and caregivers.","PeriodicalId":12118,"journal":{"name":"Expert Opinion on Orphan Drugs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45726541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to assess and compare the acromegaly patients’ QoL related to the type of pharmacotherapy using specific and generic QoL measuring instruments. Research design and methods A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study among 163 hospitalized acromegaly patients was conducted. QoL was measured by Acromegaly Quality of Life Questionnaire (AcroQol), Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and EQ-5D-3 L. Results Women had lower AcroQol values than men 50 vs. 66 (p < 0.05). Lower values for octreotide than octreotide + pegvisomant were found with all questionnaires: 57 vs. 67 AcroQol (p = 0.0405), 0.699 vs. 0.7586 EQ-5D (p = 0.0595) and 57.94 vs. 66.06 SF-36 scores (p > 0.093) . A significant correlation between AcroQoL, SF-36 and EQ-5D-3 L scores (rs> 0, р < 0.00001) was revealed. AcroQol, EQ-5D and SF-36 are reliable questionnaires applicable for Bulgarian population with acromegaly. Conclusion This pilot study confirmed that combination therapy which includes biological therapy is related to higher physical appearance AcroQol scores than nonbiological monotherapy – a conclusion which should be further confirmed.","PeriodicalId":12118,"journal":{"name":"Expert Opinion on Orphan Drugs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44304585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spectrum of disease severity ranges from early onset with respiratory failure during the first months of life to a milder, slower progressing adult-onset type. The field of SMA treatment has changed significantly over the last years from being a nearly untreatable condition to the marketing of 3 new therapeutic options and the possibility to diagnose the disease very early through newborn screening. Areas covered This article covers and summarizes the published articles of preclinical and clinical data on risdiplam, a new oral centrally and peripherally distributed SMN2 pre-mRNA splicing modifier, together with reviews of abstract of important scientific meetings that have been organized over the past 4 years. Expert opinion The favorable efficacy/safety profile allows risdiplam to address remaining still unmet needs in the recent era of new SMA therapies. In particular, the possibility to administer risdiplam orally at home will make of it an attractive treatment option across all SMA phenotypes. Long-term efficacy and safety are still under evaluation.","PeriodicalId":12118,"journal":{"name":"Expert Opinion on Orphan Drugs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47526001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
