2025 - Maximizing Therapeutic Success in Rare Diseases through Basket & Umbrella Trial Designs

Basket and umbrella protocol designs are becoming more prevalent in rare disease clinical trials because they can offer significant benefits in the development process; however, they also introduce challenges necessitating strategic planning and careful execution.
The diverse presentation of rare diseases complicates the standardization of endpoints, and the subjective nature of some clinical outcomes may lead to varied interpretations by different investigators. This webinar will examine the strategic advantages and statistical considerations or benefits of choosing either a basket or an umbrella trial design, including increased research efficiencies and the ability to explore multiple therapies or rare diseases within a single trial structure.
The team will also explore adaptive medical monitoring strategies that are crucial in supporting master protocol frameworks while ensuring the trial remains flexible and responsive to emerging data, enhancing the potential for success across various treatment arms.
Furthermore, effective management practices for multi-arm clinical trials will be explained, from logistical considerations to ethical implications, with an emphasis on optimizing patient recruitment and efficient data collection methods, ensuring that each trial phase is conducted with precision and in accordance with regulatory standards.
Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these advanced trial designs can be utilized not only to accelerate the development of therapies for rare diseases but also to address challenges and pave the way for improved patient outcomes.
Register for this webinar to discover how basket and umbrella trial designs are transforming rare disease clinical research.
