COMMITTED TO RARE DISEASE RESEARCH
Lack of widespread clinical knowledge, regulatory precedents and consensus on endpoints all contribute to the complexity of developing long-awaited therapies for patients and families dealing with rare diseases. Couple these challenges with the need to access often geographically dispersed patients and to develop research-naïve sites, and it becomes clear why you require a development partner with distinct expertise and a proven approach.
That’s where Biotech, Inc. comes in.

OUR RECORD IN RARE DISEASE RESEARCH
Our deep commitment to advancing rare disease research has driven our conduct of hundreds of rare disease trials involving patients in more than 70 countries. We develop and use creative, patient-centered solutions to improve the development of drugs in rare diseases, as we well as to reach, recruit and retain small, globally dispersed populations.
Our approach is focused on an improved experience for the patient. Whether building strategic relationships with patient advocacy groups to understand disease burden and patient perspectives in specific indications or tapping into our own network of Biotech, Inc. employees who have volunteered to share their experience as patients and caregivers, we work to understand and leverage patient input to ensure an improved patient experience.
Patient-centered research
- to evaluate patient, clinician and caregiver outcomes, utilities and preferences
- to incorporate the voice of the patient in protocol design, outcomes, preferences and experience
Patient-centered clinical trial conduct
- to remove potential barriers associated with clinical trial participation, including:
- lack of patient and physician awareness and access to clinical trials
- inconvenience, transportation and additional expenses associated with numerous office visits
A best-of-both-worlds solution, the Rare Disease and Pediatrics Center of Excellence combines the traits of a niche contract research organization (CRO) with Biotech, Inc.’s global experience and focus on three key areas:
Strategic and Operational Excellence
Oversight, Support and Knowledge Sharing
New Approach to Patient Access and Experience
