Case Study: Enrolling a global natural history study: How to find 200 rare patients

A sponsor selected Precision to manage a global natural history study in a rare, X-linked kidney disorder. The study had been recommended by the FDA because there was extremely limited published data on this rare disease—the goal was to characterize renal function and decline in patients with the disease prior to initiating a phase 2/3 clinical study. The study, to be conducted in the United States, Canada, Australia and in Europe, would follow 200+ patients for approximately 2 years.

Enrollment was by far the greatest study challenge, combining a low disease prevalence and a primary target population—young males—with life commitments such as school and work that left little time for participation in a trial that offered no therapeutic benefit for participants and would require traveling to a clinic every 3 to 6 months.
