Cell and gene therapies have emerged as a new treatment paradigm, and with them has come the potential to alter the course of many rare diseases. In many cases, there is an opportunity to correct the underlying dysfunction with a one-time administration of a therapy and provide either a functional cure or a substantial improvement in health outcomes. In other cases, long term symptom relief will be the primary therapeutic objective. Some of these indications may require more than one dose to achieve continued symptom relief and scientists and companies are working on technologies that will enable the use of a repeat dose.

Clinical trials are complex, lengthy, and resource-inefficient. The clinical research industry is responsible for the delivery of medical solutions to society by systematically evaluating their safety and efficacy in humans during so-called clinical trials. As exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, a steady and efficient influx of vaccines, therapeutics, and other innovative medical solutions is critical for meeting society’s current and future medical needs. Unfortunately, the industry faces several persistent issues that make clinical trial operations overly complex, lengthy, and resource-inefficient.
