Understanding the Natural History of Disease

Download our white paper “Understanding the Natural History of Disease” to discover the significant impact of natural history studies in drug development.  This understanding is important when developing treatments for rare diseases and conditions with limited existing knowledge.  Leveraging real-world data (RWD) and other sources of real-world evidence (RWE) are pivotal in natural history studies, offering comprehensive insights into disease progression.

Benefits of Natural History Studies:             

  • Prioritize indications for development
  • Design clinical development programs
  • Establish generalizability
  • Anticipate drug-drug interactions
  • Establish patient criteria for clinical studies
  • Identify patterns of drug use post-authorization

Natural history studies are essential in the drug development lifecycle, providing invaluable data that inform clinical trial design, regulatory strategy, and market access.

In this white paper UBC’s Annette Stemhagen, DRPH, FISPE, Eileen Moran, MBA, and Judy Lytle, PHD, MBEE, PMP explore why natural history studies should be considered a part of an overall evidence generation strategy.
