Externally-Led Patient Focused Drug Development Meeting for Krabbe disease

Thursday, October 29th, 2020 from 12:30-4:30 pm EST

Please join us for a once in a life-time opportunity to come together to help #curekrabbe. KrabbeConnect initiated an Externally-Led Patient Focused Drug Development (EL-PFDD) meeting for the Krabbe disease community. This meeting, coordinated and facilitated by the National Organization for Rare Disorders, will be conducted virtually on Thursday, October 29th, 2020 from 12:30-4:30 pm EST.

What is the purpose of the EL-PFDD meeting?

As therapeutic developments move forward for Krabbe disease, our community needs to ensure that researchers, drug developers, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have a robust understanding of patients’ and caregivers’ experiences with the disease. Including but not limited to, how individuals with Krabbe disease view their quality of life (with transplant and without), what aspects of the disease are most problematic for them, and what actions patients’ and caregivers’ utilize to treat and cope with this disease.
