In late 2021, the health technology assessment of the French National Authority for Health was seized by the French Ministry of Solidarity and Health to address a specific challenge, the identification of solutions contributing to the development of the methodological expertise in new types of clinical studies for rare diseases. Experts from the rare diseases environment were gathered by OrphanDev, the French network of expertise dedicated to rare diseases. They allowed to identify some of the current issues in France concerning rare diseases, and then present different solutions, in particular related to the evaluation process of orphan drugs and the collection of data on rare diseases.
2021年底,法国团结和卫生部利用对法国国家卫生局的卫生技术评估来应对一项具体挑战,即确定有助于发展罕见病新型临床研究方法学专业知识的解决办法。来自罕见病环境的专家由致力于罕见病的法国专家网络OrphanDev聚集。它们使我们能够确定法国目前有关罕见病的一些问题,然后提出不同的解决办法,特别是与孤儿药的评价过程和罕见病数据的收集有关的解决办法。

Around 4% of the global population suffers from a rare disease. Apart from the medical aspect, economic, organisational, and political approaches remain key aspects when it concerns the evolution of the world of rare diseases. We review here the principal specific national initiatives and organisations in Europe, North America and East Asia. Thereafter, we propose the outlines of a possible optimal approach, inspired by the successes of the individual national organisations. This work should be taken into account in the definition of large scale multi-national rare diseases programs, such as the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases.
全球约4%的人口患有一种罕见疾病。除了医疗方面,经济、组织和政治方法仍然是涉及罕见病世界演变的关键方面。我们在此回顾欧洲、北美和东亚主要的具体国家倡议和组织。在此之后,我们根据个别国家组织的成功经验,提出了可能的最佳方法大纲。在定义大型跨国罕见病项目时,如欧洲罕见病联合项目,应考虑到这项工作。

Targeting neutrophil serine proteinases in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency 针对α -1抗胰蛋白酶缺乏症的中性粒细胞丝氨酸蛋白酶
Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.20517/rdodj.2022.18

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is the most abundant irreversible serine proteinase inhibitor in the circulation and plays a major role in protecting lung tissue against destruction from neutrophil serine proteinases. Genetic mutation of AAT leads to reduced circulating levels and AAT deficiency (AATD) which is associated with an increased risk of developing emphysema. This observation suggests that the balance between AAT and neutrophil serine proteinase is crucial in maintaining tissue homoeostasis. In AATD, the overexuberant proteinase activity resulting from inadequate AAT control creates a self-perpetuating inflammatory cycle, driving progressive tissue injury. Re-establishing this physiological balance is therefore critical for preserving lung architecture, function, and abrogating disease progression. Several avenues within this pathophysiological pathway are being explored. This chapter addresses the pathophysiological process, current treatments targeting the pathway, and alternative approaches within the pathway that can potentially mitigate proteinase imbalance.
α -1抗胰蛋白酶(AAT)是循环中最丰富的不可逆丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂,在保护肺组织免受中性粒细胞丝氨酸蛋白酶的破坏中起重要作用。AAT基因突变导致循环水平降低和AAT缺乏(AATD),这与发生肺气肿的风险增加有关。这一观察结果表明,AAT和中性粒细胞丝氨酸蛋白酶之间的平衡对维持组织平衡至关重要。在AATD中,由于AAT控制不足导致的过度活跃的蛋白酶活性产生了一个自我延续的炎症循环,驱动进行性组织损伤。因此,重建这种生理平衡对于保持肺结构、功能和消除疾病进展至关重要。目前正在探索这一病理生理途径中的几种途径。本章讨论了病理生理过程,目前针对该途径的治疗方法,以及该途径内可能减轻蛋白酶失衡的替代方法。

Aim: The European Reference Networks (ERNs) provide clinicians and patients the opportunity to collaborate at EU level to improve diagnosis, care and treatment for people living with rare and complex conditions. However, building a partnership culture to systematically involve patients in ERN activities and decision-making structures is challenging, partly because the role of patient representatives and the value of this collaboration are not always understood. The objective of this project was to develop an evaluation framework to assess the impact of patient engagement in the ERNs and to provide evidence on the value of patient-clinician partnership. Methods: The evaluation was developed by EURORDIS and patient representatives involved in the ERNs (ePAG advocates) through a participatory and iterative process. The work was organised in three different phases: (1) clarify roles and identify common goals for ePAG advocates’ engagement in the ERNs; (2) define a set of measures; and (3) test the measures in three different ePAGs (European Patient Advocacy Groups). Results: The project allowed developing a common understanding among ePAG advocates of their role and goals in the ERNs and defining a patient-driven evaluation framework to assess their level of engagement in the ERNs’ activities and how effectively they were working to fulfil their role. Conclusion: Engaging with ERN clinicians to refine the framework would probably render it more relevant to the reality and priorities of the specific ERNs and more valuable as a tool to build a strong partnership culture. Such an evaluation framework could be integrated into the ERNs’ quality improvement system to ensure that the networks’ activities are driven by and remain responsive to patients’ needs.
目的:欧洲参考网络(ern)为临床医生和患者提供了在欧盟层面合作的机会,以改善对罕见和复杂疾病患者的诊断、护理和治疗。然而,建立一种伙伴关系文化,使患者系统地参与ERN活动和决策结构是具有挑战性的,部分原因是患者代表的作用和这种合作的价值并不总是被理解。该项目的目的是建立一个评估框架,以评估患者参与急诊室的影响,并为患者-临床伙伴关系的价值提供证据。方法:评估由EURORDIS和参与ern的患者代表(ePAG倡导者)通过参与式和迭代过程制定。这项工作分三个阶段进行:(1)厘清环境工作计划倡议者参与环境工作计划的角色和共同目标;(二)确定一套措施;(3)在三个不同的ePAGs (European Patient Advocacy Groups)中测试这些措施。结果:该项目使ePAG的倡导者对他们在护士网络中的作用和目标达成了共识,并定义了一个以患者为导向的评估框架,以评估他们参与护士网络活动的程度,以及他们如何有效地履行自己的职责。结论:与ERN临床医生合作完善框架可能会使其更符合具体ERN的现实和优先事项,并且作为建立强大伙伴关系文化的工具更有价值。这样的评估框架可以整合到急诊室的质量改进系统中,以确保网络的活动是由患者的需求驱动的,并始终对患者的需求作出反应。

IRDiRC: 1000 new rare diseases treatments by 2027, identifying and bringing forward strategic actions IRDiRC:到2027年,1000种新的罕见病治疗方法,确定并提出战略行动
Pub Date : 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.20517/rdodj.2021.02

In 2017, the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) set out ambitious goals, one of which specifically aimed to stimulate the development and approval of 1000 new therapies for rare diseases by 2027. This goal was part of IRDiRC’s concerted efforts to foster research and provide better diagnostics and care options for the estimated 400 million patients suffering from the more than 6000 rare diseases (RD) worldwide. Lack of therapeutic options for rare disease patients is an urgent issue. Treatments are estimated to be available for less than 6% of RD conditions, and fewer than 50 new therapies per year are approved by regulatory agencies worldwide, leaving a major discrepancy between patient needs and therapeutic solutions. This paper describes the recent key steps the IRDiRC Therapies Scientific Committee (TSC) has taken to support the future approval of 1000 new therapies, namely Step 1 (conducting a gap analysis of the rare diseases drug development landscape) and Step 2 (developing strategic themes to advance IRDiRC Goal 2 and act upon them). The IRDiRC TSC created a multi-stakeholder group to run a gap analysis of the RD drug development field. The analysis identified four main priority needs: (1) the definition of a new master plan for RD medicines suitable for all developers (large and small pharmaceutical companies, academics, and not-for-profit organizations) incorporating stakeholders’ perspectives and best practices in the field to increase efficiency in the development and registration of innovative drugs and generate more value for patients and the healthcare system; (2) the elicitation of a research framework and business model for repurposing of existing drugs for RD indications to enact a quantum enlargement of the existing Page 2 of Hivert et al. Rare Dis Orphan Drugs J 2021;1:3 https://dx.doi.org/10.20517/rdodj.2021.02 8 therapeutic armamentarium; (3) the definition of standards and practices for data collection in healthcare practice and their implementation in drug development to provide real-world evidence; and (4) the re-focusing of the current international RD research agenda pushing for concentrated research efforts and funding in support of the development of future treatments. In addition to identifying where efforts should be put, the TSC has concretely contributed to advance the IRDiRC goal by creating tools (e.g., the Orphan Drug Development Guidebook) and recommendations and making them available to the whole RD community. However, much remains to be done, and the TSC has refined its approach to incorporate progress made and reflect on new challenges.
2017年,国际罕见病研究联盟(IRDiRC)制定了雄心勃勃的目标,其中一个目标是到2027年刺激1000种罕见病新疗法的开发和批准。这一目标是IRDiRC共同努力的一部分,旨在促进研究,并为全球约4亿患有6000多种罕见病(RD)的患者提供更好的诊断和护理选择。罕见病患者缺乏治疗选择是一个紧迫的问题。据估计,只有不到6%的RD病症可获得治疗,全球监管机构每年批准的新疗法不到50种,这使得患者需求与治疗方案之间存在重大差异。本文描述了IRDiRC疗法科学委员会(TSC)最近为支持未来批准1000种新疗法而采取的关键步骤,即步骤1(对罕见病药物开发前景进行差距分析)和步骤2(制定战略主题以推进IRDiRC目标2并采取行动)。IRDiRC TSC创建了一个多利益相关者小组,对研发药物开发领域进行差距分析。该分析确定了四个主要的优先需求:(1)定义适合所有开发商(大型和小型制药公司、学术界和非营利组织)的新的研发药物总体规划,纳入利益相关者的观点和该领域的最佳实践,以提高创新药物的开发和注册效率,并为患者和医疗保健系统创造更多价值;(2)引出一个研究框架和商业模式,以重新利用现有药物用于RD适应症,以制定现有的Hivert等人的第2页的量子扩大。罕见病孤儿药[J]; 2011;1:3 https://dx.doi.org/10.20517/rdodj.2021.02;(3)定义医疗保健实践中数据收集的标准和实践,并在药物开发中实施,以提供现实证据;(4)重新聚焦当前的国际研发研究议程,推动集中研究工作和资助,以支持未来治疗方法的开发。除了确定应该把努力放在哪里之外,TSC还通过创建工具(例如,孤儿药开发指南)和建议,并将它们提供给整个研发社区,为推进IRDiRC的目标做出了具体贡献。然而,仍有许多工作要做,技术安全委员会已改进了其方法,以纳入已取得的进展并反思新的挑战。

Aim: The ambitious goals set by the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) by 2027 to fulfill the vision of providing diagnosis and treatments to rare diseases (RDs) patients within one year of coming to medical attention have been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. This article aims to identify the needs and challenges of the RD community during the COVID-19 pandemic and to understand whether the pandemic would hinder achievement of the IRDiRC goals. Methods: A survey was developed in 2020 to answer key issues related to the potential impact of the pandemic on RD research and distributed to all 96 IRDiRC Constituent Committee members and Scientific Committee experts. Results: The overall participation rate was 46%, with the highest response rates from the Patient Advocates, Funders, and Therapies Committees. Most respondents reported impacts on various aspects of RD research including decreased access to healthcare, clinical trials, and diagnostics for patients, as well as disrupted operations for patient and funding organizations and restrictions in access to workplaces for researchers. Despite these challenges, there was overall optimism that the IRDiRC goals could still be met by 2027, although there would be an inevitable slowdown in RD research activities. Conclusions: Maintaining funding for RD research and implementing new workflows to ensure that patients have continued access to diagnostics, therapies, and clinical trials will be key to ensuring that IRDiRC meets it goals by 2027.
国际罕见病研究联盟(IRDiRC)制定的雄心勃勃的目标是到2027年实现罕见病(rd)患者在就医一年内提供诊断和治疗的愿景,这一目标受到了COVID-19大流行的挑战。本文旨在确定COVID-19大流行期间研发界的需求和挑战,并了解大流行是否会阻碍IRDiRC目标的实现。方法:在2020年制定了一项调查,以回答与大流行对研发研究的潜在影响相关的关键问题,并向所有96名IRDiRC组成委员会成员和科学委员会专家分发。结果:总体参与率为46%,患者倡导者、资助者和治疗委员会的响应率最高。大多数答复者报告了对研发研究各个方面的影响,包括患者获得医疗保健、临床试验和诊断的机会减少,患者和资助组织的操作中断,以及研究人员进入工作场所受到限制。尽管存在这些挑战,但总体上还是乐观地认为,到2027年,IRDiRC的目标仍然可以实现,尽管研发活动将不可避免地放缓。结论:维持对研发研究的资助并实施新的工作流程,以确保患者能够继续获得诊断、治疗和临床试验,将是确保IRDiRC到2027年实现其目标的关键。

Aim: Off-label prescription is not regulated on the European Union (EU) level and therefore not harmonised in the EU Member States (MS). Despite this, the use of medicines outside of the drug label occurs in clinical practice, and it can be included in treatment guidelines and/or reimbursed in some cases. It is, however, currently not clear to what extent off-label use can be included in regulatory discussions at a European level at the different committees at the European Medicines Agency. In this article, we provide an overview of the current legislation on MS level regarding off-label prescription in order to support EU regulatory discussions. Methods: Relevant national legislation regarding off-label prescription from MS was identified by distributing a questionnaire to EMACOLEX. Case law was excluded. The identified categorical elements and prerequisites in the national legislation were then categorised. Subsequently, a comparison was made to the five Good Off-Label Use Practice (GOLUP) principles. Results: Based on the obtained responses from 10 MS, we observed a large heterogeneity in the legislation of MS regarding off-label prescription. Five (out of 10) MS regulate off-label prescription explicitly and seven (out of 10) MS have prerequisites. One or more prerequisites per MS were reflected in the GOLUP principles as formulated in 2017. Conclusion: The main contribution of this work is to flag that off-label prescription actually needs to be well defined and understood before it can be appropriately taken into consideration in regulatory discussions. There is a heterogeneity in legislation regarding off-label prescription in the investigated MS, which may lead to different perspectives. A common understanding of the concept and more alignment in off-label prescription practices and their regulation at MS level may contribute to further regulatory discussions.
目的:标签外处方未在欧盟(EU)层面进行监管,因此未在欧盟成员国(MS)进行协调。尽管如此,在临床实践中仍会出现使用药品标签以外的药物的情况,并且在某些情况下可以将其纳入治疗指南和/或报销。然而,目前尚不清楚在欧洲层面上,在欧洲药品管理局的不同委员会中,在多大程度上可以将标签外使用纳入监管讨论。在本文中,我们概述了MS层面关于标签外处方的现行立法,以支持欧盟监管讨论。方法:通过向EMACOLEX发放调查问卷,了解国家有关MS超说明书处方的相关立法。判例法被排除在外。然后对国家立法中确定的分类要素和先决条件进行分类。随后,对五个良好的标签外使用实践(GOLUP)原则进行了比较。结果:根据获得的10个MS的反馈,我们观察到MS关于超说明书处方的立法存在很大的异质性。10个质谱中有5个明确规定了说明书外处方,7个有先决条件。2017年制定的GOLUP原则反映了每个MS的一个或多个先决条件。结论:这项工作的主要贡献是表明,在监管讨论中适当考虑超说明书处方之前,实际上需要对其进行良好的定义和理解。在被调查的MS中,关于超说明书处方的立法存在异质性,这可能导致不同的观点。对概念的共同理解和标签外处方实践及其在MS层面的监管的更多一致性可能有助于进一步的监管讨论。
